That modified feature was one of the best races I've seen in a long time!

Mcdowell won Dennis ended up 2nd. Paul Miles finished 2nd but what was dq'd because he didn't immediately go to scales, so I heard. If that's the case, it sucks but that's UMP rules.

Miles was on a tear. He was running 2nd and was, in my opinion, deliberately spun out on lap 14 and had to tag the end of the field. In the course of 10 laps, Paul Miles went from 15th place to 2nd place running up top. He just put on a show!

I've seen so many examples now that I think I can make this statement. You've got to be a real animal to drive a sprint car like Hunter Schuerenberg often does!! There are times when he starts in the back and just slugs his way to the front. He has the kind of mental toughness that demonstrates that he NEVER thinks he out of it. Ever. Then there are nights like tonight that he starts in the front, just takes off, flying into the turns at a speed that looks way to fast, saws away on that wheel, just manhandles his sprinter around the turns, gets great bite and rockets out of turns two and four. And can do that over and over again, lap after lap, which has to take unbelievable physical toughness. When this guy's on his game, if you didn't eat your Wheaties that day, you're just not going to beat him. He's one of a small handful of drivers that I can picture standing on a podium with Dick Gaines, Bob Kinser, Roy Robbins, etc. He'd fit in just as well to 1971 as he does today.

And as impressive as Hunter was tonight, in the last ten laps of this race you saw Blake Fitzpatrick throw caution to the wind and actually chase this guy down. He wasn't able to threaten Hunter's lead seriously, but as they were coming down to take the white flag he was definitely bearing down on him. Another lap or so and we may well have had another fantastic finish like we did in the last race there, between Blake and Levi Jones.

One driver who stepped up big time tonight and really drove the hell out of his car was Dakota Jackson. From hot laps, to his heat and all the way through the feature, he was on it. Flying around the turns and taking off on the straightaways, often doing wheel stands coming out of the turns. His battle with Braylon Fitzpatrick was probably the best one of the race and he even made several serious runs at Brady Short, for the third position.

The feature wasn't quite as good as the epic race we saw there the last time, but this was still a damn good race. The heat races were one of the best sets of heats I've seen all year. Sprint and Modified. Now the modified B could have been classified as a burro ride through hell, but the rest of the racing was stellar. Because the track was perfect. Probably the second best track Tommy has had all year, next to the last one. Coupled with perfect temps, it made for a great night of racing.
