A little dry but there was a cushion near the wall that held up.
I might add a note about the crowd and Deron Clayton. Among the crowd of "veterans" were some county fair attendees maybe seeing their first live race or first sprint and modified race. I know the man behind me with his family said this is the first visit to Lawrenceburg in several years, long before it went to 3/8 mile.
Clayton won convincingly with Bloom only having an outside shot of catching him. After the checker Clayton did a series of tight donuts and exited his car standing atop the roll cage on the front stretch. The crowd just ate it up. To cap it all off Clayton ended his victory interview by giving his trophy to Alexis. This is the little girl that pulled the number for him in the redraw. Once again the stands erupted in cheers. If an objective was to get new fans to the track I'd have to say Deron Clayton did his best to help achieve this.
