Maybe it's me but I can feel the tradition when I walk into this track
They never get a huge car count here, but the quality is there. All the heros on a hero track
This and Eldora may be Ballou's best tracks, I am surprised he didin't come forward in the feature
I don't know what broke but he took a nasty lick at the end of the race
The cushion was triiicky, I think everyone got tripped up at least once.
I thought the parking was screwed up when I came in but it was the easiest track to get out of with everyone I witnessed being polite and patient.

The PA system has to be the worst ever. Looks like it won't get fixed this year.
Halfway between Springfield & DuQuoin, and Gilbert AZ
Well it appears that Shane Cottle ran in the back of Ballou as he was cutting down and if he had no brakes that was all she wrote. Yes it was definitely a nasty scene and surely could have been disastrous but Thank God Robert was able to keep the car out of the crowd just behind the wall.
78, you are correct about the feeling of hallowed ground’s. One thing I didn’t learn but something that I already knew is I wish we could run Terre Haute on the Weekend. I’m a big JG fan and happy he won but it looked like a careless move that got into the 33 in the heat race. Did anyone see what exactly happened?

Well,
I am a JG fan myself, but it looked to me that he just slid up thinking that he had Westfall beat to the spot and he didn't. To my knowledge, no one has asked either party publicly what their point of view was but it looked to me like JG just screwed up.
I happened to run in to Bill Rose near the food trucks last night after USAC Sprints qualifying. I know Bill casually from living near him in Plainfield IN for years. After speaking for a minute, he said that he hoped people would forgive him if it got a little dusty. He then said they had put 35 truckloads of water on the track since approx. 2 PM, and it still probably wasn’t enough. I sure hope he didn’t have to pay the water bill!
