Just a couple of points about the race last night.
1)Both Busch brothers had difficult times in the heat races. Both found the wall much to the delight of many fans in attendance. It basically ended Kurt's night while Kyle's crew was able to fix the car and take the win.
2)Kasey had them covered and had the misfortune to "find" the stopped car in turns 3 & 4. Don't know exactly what happened but it seemed like the yellow was late coming out.
3)Danica was the last car running in the feature. A difficult time for her as well as they lapped her three times in the feature alone.
4)The crowd was down some from past years but they still had quite a lot of people. With attendance being down at NASCAR events, this certainly didn't surprise me. I hope that they were able to raise that $1M goal that they set for this event. That is the reason they run this thing in the first place.
5)Kind of surprised that they didn't do anything to the race track after the practice sessions. It slicked off big time and the cushion was about used up early on. Reminded me a lot of the 4 crown last year. They still have some work to do but I said early on that Roger Slack, the new promoter would have his hands full and it will take some time.
6)A great night weather wise so that wasn't an excuse for fans not to be there. Tony said that he felt bad for Dave Blaney as he left him at the airport in PA. He said that he hoped Dave wasn't mad at him since Dave was his ride back to Pocono.
7)The support classes were both good and bad. Thankfully they set a time limit so they could stay on schedule. They ran features only and the street stock feature went the entire distance of 15 laps with Barney Craig winning again. This guy knows how to win at Eldora.
The modified feature was not good at all. They only completed 7 laps before the time limit came into effect. Numerous spins and wrecks and the checkered flag thankfully ended this before the crowd got any more restless. Eldora now has double file restarts for the support divisions. Kind of interesting to watch.
