little 500
 

Hey Anderson the tracks covered in oil....

What a joke

Cloud you share any more information than that please? Are you at the track? I have been hoping someone would post updates. They would be greatly appreciated.

First 100 laps 3 different cars sprayed oil all over the track.. Instead of using the black flag they let them run destroyed 1/4 of the field never put down oil dry Crash after crash and these push truck drivers look like a bunch of clowns just sucks that Anderson ruined this race

Turn 3 &4 push trucks suck these guys are getting screwed

Its every turn... Never seen anything like this

Running order 68 51 33 5 07 lap 380

Caution is out 404 same running order. Wilson lost 5 laps early but don't count him out

Worst ever pierce down 100 laps he got a truck right away helps to be a sponsor

Anyone notice how more people get their updates on Twitter now? I can't figure out why.

Re: little 500
 

Congrats to Chris Windom on the Little 500 win....thats cool.:9:

Re: little 500
 

Chris Windom, put on a great show, also Dave Steele running him down was great to watch. Kyle Hamilton, radio hurt him but a great drive. Jacob Wilson must have pitted 6 times, and finished 2 laps down, and 1 was a penalty late for passing the pace truck.

The push truck drivers were awful. 1 quit pushing a car when it got close to the track, leaving him setting at the entrance to turn 1.

Don't take this out on IOW. Anybody could have said the same thing on Twitter. A think a lot of people come here to see Jen's updates, when she does them and those are as good of updates as you're going to see anywhere. Nunn does them from Bloomington that are excellent quality. RP Racing does them from Haubstadt. Etc., etc, etc.

Santos had horrible bad luck tonight. Cottle blew up right in front of him in the back straight while leading and was pushed into the turn three wall barely missing the water barrels and he hit a ton ending his night.
He had the best car on the track before that accident. Armstrong was good too, but Bobby Santos had that field covered until some really bad luck with being in the wrong place at exactly the wrong time.

Ended up being a really good race, but they lost some really good cars due to the oil left on the track. Push trucks are always an issue, but this year was some of the worst I've seen. It is a shame that the push trucks play such a huge roll in the outcome. Three cars within about a second of each other after 500 laps is quite a testament to both the drivers and the crews.

And yes, the push trucks were horrible tonight. Unobservant idiots! Not paying attention to when a car came in and that they were going to need to be pushed back off.
And yes again, the officials in this race need to pay closer attention to what is going on! I think there were at least 3, maybe more, douching the track down with oil tonight and they black flagged one. Not a real great job there...everyone was slipping in oil tonight causing more attrition than needed to be.

.
That was tyler radiator hose blew or came off

If a driver forgets to put his car in gear not once but twice that's not the push truck drivers fault! They are only allowed to go push a car when the officials tell them to, not when pit members try to tell them what to do! There's a lot more that goes on than what a spectator sitting in the stands sees!

Yes from the stand or the crews at race tracks have no clue let me help these people understand when there is a car to be pushed it is not at the CREWS or the PUSHTRUCK drivers descetion it is the track that controls the truck they are told before the race to NOT listen to the crews but to listen to the OFFICALS at the track and as for the car that was left at the bottom of the track that is a demand from the track that the PUSHTRUCK drivers are to NOT push a car above the line so when people know what they are talking about then feel free to speak

And as for the post of cottles car blowing up where were you because if you were paying attention cottle was involved in and accident in turn two which took cottle out early in the race

The Little 500 I went to was great...Amazed at how well Anderson Speedway runs this event!!

Re: little 500
 

Little 500 beats the pants off of the Indy 500 .......Love It...

Re: little 500
 

You do a super nice recap of the races you attend as well my friend. Just sayin'...............:6:

First off the little 500 is the best pavement sprint car race of the year hands down. So quit bashing it and being negative sure are there issues with push trucks yes but its like that every year just part of it you know going into every year but its the same for everyone. When else do you get to see 33 of the best sprint cars on the track together besides at the little 500 never this is it. It was a awesome race as always.

WAS YOU THERE???? Not one person there can honestly say the push truck drivers did a good job. I was in the infield I watched what was going on they looked like a bunch of clowns. .. Yes its always an issue I understand there will be mishaps but come on these guys flat out stunk it up. Anderson ruined that race last night I personally told an official the numbers of the 3 cars that where leaking fluid His exact response was we are gonna let them rrun. Trust me I love this race as mush as the next guy but Anderson really needs to put in more effort on training there help they ruined what what would have been the best little 500 ever

Sorry about that.. I'm a fan of updates as well. At that point I wasn't trying to update just showing displeasure with the track... I did try after I was asked but I was in the infield and its not easy to do from a pit area....

Been there done that they were really bad

Yes I was there. I have been there for the past 15 little 500 go every year. And really didn't notice with that much of a difference with the push truck drivers its always like that. What 3 cars you talking about leaking fluid I saw 1 maybe 2 cars that possibly had a leak.

63 18 11 if you didn't see it you wasn't watching... The truck drivers where more interested in watching the race than doing there jobs
