Unfortunately we had to watch the race from the Infield since we suffered Ignition problems and were not able to compete. The only good news is that Coleman had a chance to sleep in his own bed for once since the track is close to home. That's the way it goes. Iceman is already in route to Brownsburg to change cars and run Knoxville on Sunday.
The good news is that we were able to watch Tracy Hines put on a clinic from the back of the pack. He was outstanding. I don't know Tracy very well but after the race had a chance to congratulate him on an awesome run. He was very humble and appreciative, signing autographs for plenty of youngsters. For those of you that did not hear about it or see the race, Tracy was running 3rd, passed for 2nd and then contact from another car sent him into the outside wall. He had to restart at the tail of the field and passed probably 10 to 12 VERY good cars, maybe more on the outside of a nearly flat track. Most of the night was single lane running until Tracy came through the field. It was really impressive. I am glad Coleman got a chance to watch him run that line.
There may not have been any better on Thursday at Oswego. Very impressive.
