I agree with Gene, here. Although the battle for the win that almost always comes down to the same handful of drivers, driving for the race teams we're all used to seeing run up front, is what makes the show. The middle of the pack, stocked with guys who live to fight the good fight, is and always has been the lifeblood of the sprint car scene in this state. My uncle raced for many years for the love of the sport and I think you would be hard pressed to find a family that has proven their love for sprint car racing more than the Gentrys have. Or the Carmichaels. Or the Beseckers. Or the Spencers. Etc, etc.
I hope we never get to the day that the prevailing attitude among drivers that know they don't have the motor to win a given race, is to not even bother showing up. Without teams like these signing into the pits, the racing scene would have folded in this state, a long time ago.
