Moyer was tough starting on the pole and it was fun watching Pierce running the wall but both grooves were fast. Really nice crowd and two of the heats for LM's were outstanding. The race for second on back was a real was with clean, quality driving all over the track. Dillon was impressive on the dirt, for sure. He signed autographs on the backstretch at intermission and said hello to a couple of us that were sitting on the benches when they set up his table. He seemed like a nice guy and I told my buddy that this was how a driver creates and builds his fan base by coming to short tracks signing autographs and taking pictures with fans and just being nice. Indy-car racing could do themselves a world of good if they would send out drivers to do the same but their clothes might get dusty and they can't have that. Their short racing schedule gives them plenty of free weekends to do this.
