Three days of great racing.Thank you USAC

What happened to Carson Short? Why didn't he run the A-Main after Winning his Heat Race?
Thanks.

The word was they knocked a hole in the oil pan

I agree completely ! Very enjoyable 3 nites of great racing front to back on 3 very well prepared tracks. Congrats to JG for picking up 2 big wins, and great job from all the drivers to the track workers and everyone else involved. I would like to see something like this again next year. Thanks USAC

Shout out to Issac Chapple,

Not good for Carson & Team Briscoe! At least Chase Won today!

Gee thanks for the spoiler watching now three am and was halfway thru. Now i can go to bed

Track had a couple spots early. Can't say Windom's qualifying tumble wasn't helped by a rough entry to three but others got thru it. Others bounced. It ironed out.

The unconventional line wins on a fast burg. The rubbered up Burg is either run high low or one way on opposite ends. I love Windoms line in one and two. Go in on the wall and drive all the way down to the bottom. 14 spots, don't tell me there ain't no passin on a fast track. Well done Big Daddy.

Felt bad for Leary, Hope all turns out ok. He posted that he's going for xrays on neck and back. Somehow showed a photo of where his cage landed and imprinted about four inches deep. On his facebook page. In person and on replay it just looked like he slapped the wall with the RR and it turned his fronts over the cushion and that was that. Again wish him well.

Big dibs to Grant, I didn't pick him as he's been just a tad off all year and seem never to be able to get a full thirty clean laps. Well Smackdown and Tonight proved me wrong. Well done Sir! Got yor mojo back!

Bacon, No doubt why he's two time champ. It was fun watching him and Grant swap the lead a few times.

Another shout out to Team Briscoe. Thanks for fielding a car and sometimes two even when Chase can't race himself. Been a Briscoe car out there most of my life. Thank you!

Great track, Great Crowd, Great racing and thanks to everyone.
Chuck.

Final note Ballou won the Gaines Memorial using that big cushion on the last corner of the last lap.
