We had a good time. They did a lot of cool things for the fans. Lots of passing with cars from the back moving up through the field. Was good to see Clauson have a good run. He'll have a WoO win under his belt before too long. Johnny Gibson made a comment about Bacon being the USAC champ for 2014 so that was cool to hear. It's always nice to see nonwing guys in the nationals; Tyler Courtney, Brady bacon, hunter schuerenburg, Kevin Thomas.

Clauson looked good all week at Knoxville. He got up to 8th at one point last night before fading late. I don't know if his tires sealed over or they missed the setup for the latter stages, but he got visibly slower, either that or everyone else got faster. Either way, he had a good week and you could watch his confidence grow race by race. Pretty cool!

A gear change in a sprint car race? That's a joke. I saw Donny's first one in 2006. Haven't missed much since.

I've been to plenty of non wing races, was going to Kokomo long before they changed it, same with the burg, I prefer the the old versions in both cases. I would have loved to been at Knoxville for those days. The closest thing around here to that atmosphere is the Kings Royal and its a far cry form Knoxville. I'm not trying to get into pissing match on here but we need a marquee event that draws large numbers of cars from out of state, that involves the local community, that they can get behind and support. There's a reason we keep loosing drivers to winged cars, more money and more races.

I was just joking around, at the time I didn't even know of the car counts. I said that because the lineups were already made and you know exactly who was going to be there.

Smack down is a step in the right direction but it needs more fan support and more cars to grow into a huge happening. Until a new organization steps up to challenge USAC I don't see any major changes on the horizon.

Yes that 21st to 1st run in 2013 was boring. Ha!

I actually like nonwing better. But don't take shots at people because they're at one place and you're at another. Just enjoy the fact you're at a race at all with the way the weather has been this year. |
