Larson had a good WOO week at Knoxville. Finished first, second and first, ran 80 feature laps and grossed $67,000. Great money for a sprinter, maybe for a late model driver also.
During a show on this news channel this morning, they had a reporter at the Plymouth Speedway touting the opening race of Indiana short tracks tomorrow without any fans. They talked about Indiana...

I was not in favor of the format when it was announced, After attending yesterday, it was outstanding. Some teams attempted 3, 4, 5 maybe more to get into the fast 30. Qualifying lasted for 6 hours...
