Maybe they should get the track prep right first and then worry about making the track bigger and putting up a scoreboard. Or maybe they should concentrate on the beer booth first...get 'em loopy so they don't notice how bad the track is or how dusty it is. Decisions, decisions.

Briscoe said on twitter that is the worst he's ever seen Btown. Looks like they fired the wrong guy with the water truck or the creek dried up behind the pits. JMO.

Terrible, 1 lane huggy pole, no passing, couldn't see the racing for all the dust. Brady was the only one that could handle the track tonight. Doesn't look good for the rest of the year. Even the drivers all commented on the condition of the track during the interviews. Congrats to Brady.

Bloomington was cool back in the late 90's, same track, only difference was it would build a Monster Curb for the guys running the top, I'm talking double up the RR wheel cover type cushion.. Now.. Rarely a cushion all the way around = race for the tires

Some key people in the track prep dept were missing this week. The rest of the crew did their best to put on a show for you. They are still learning and there will be some growing pains. Different weather conditions require different prep, etc. Trust me, they are committed to figuring it out and putting on the best show possible every week. So far the track has been pretty good this year up until tonight.
