Gas City SprintWeek opener. Even though Brady Bacon, Robert Ballou and C J Leary caught the most attention, it was Shane Cottle quietly doing his job coming deep in the field for the win.
Kokomo the next night. Two of the drivers who people tend to complain about Robert Ballou and Justin Grant slugged it out battling hard and clean.
Smackdown night 1. It was the only night that I made, spent the next 6 nights in the crash house. Kyle Cummins drove from the back after a flat for the win.
Springfield in October. Overnight steady rain helped produce the best Silver Crown race I have seen on a dirt mile since my first trip to DuQuoin in 1984.
I am sure I left off a few. These are the good ole days

Oh, man. Agreed on that Gas City race. Has to be one of the best I have ever witnessed/shot. With all of the drama, Shane did his best. As I was shooting the event, I TRY and look for the best action, so don't always watch who might be leading until the last few laps. And, what do I see through the lens? Cottle pulling that win out at the last minute, and it wasn't the first time he had done that at Gas City. And yeah, the subsequent action between Ballou and Grant was good, too. Really hate that THAT got rained out. I am guessing that it really would have been a barn burner.
