Rogers got out front early and was able to run and hide, without that caution I doubt Adams catches him. The sliderfest that ensued after the caution was worth the price of admission, I thought both guys did a great job. Great racing throughout the field all the way through.
I don't go for support divisions but I appreciate when they put on a good show and I also appreciate not having down time, good racing all night in all divisions I thought.
One of the reasons I don't like downtime is that after awhile I get tired of hearing the announcers talk, especially when they are just talking to hear themselves talk. I will be so glad when Paul Hazen gets into the Hall of Fame this weekend, not because he deserves it, which he does, but because I am so sick of having to hear it every time the 57 car gets on the track there. Jesus! I get it!! You think Paul Hazen should be in the Hall of Fame, I don't need to hear it seven times a night, state your case and move on.
One other thing that annoyed me is that they announced on-line hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:30. But hot laps didn't start till 7:00 and when they did they had some timing and scoring bugs that they never did get worked out. All of this is splitting hairs but when you are already sick of hearing the guys on the mic yammer on another half an hour feels like an eternity. Still my favorite track though.

OMG, It's the cross for sure for you KB. Your Rose colored glasses are forever scratched and dirty.
Mine however remain unblemished.
Just kidding. I agree with you but Rob fought hard to make sure Paul got the recognition he deserves.
Now for Rob Hoffman who with thirteen or more USAC championships as Crew chief and now owner isn't deserving, Who is? That's almost Karl Kinser numbers. Maybe not in total wins, but surely among the best of his discipline.
