Great race! All three, Kyle, Brady, Casey did a great job!

Track was very racy! Good job LPS!!!

Let me be clear, I don't think Brady did anything wrong. Or anything intentional. This was just two drivers that were going for it, that had just waged a classic battle. On the last corner of the last lap. On a dirt track. That had slicked off a bit, by that point. I said I felt bad for Casey, because I definitely think that his ability to regroup and make repeated comebacks, when it looked like Brady had him dead to rights, is what turned this into the war that it ended up as.

And how much focus must Kyle Cummins have to have had? The battle between Short and Shuman allowed him to close the distance in the last few laps, but it still looked to be a two man race. One little hiccup with the two leaders, on the last corner of the last lap, opened up a split second window of opportunity and he had the ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. No one could have predicted that. Such a shocking ending was the icing on the cake for this great race.

If you're Joe Spiker, you've got to be pretty happy, right now. You've got a strong race of the year candidate, five days before this year's version of what most people thought was the race of the year, last year.

That's why we are all blessed with two eyes....in case you don't believe one you can blame the other. Kudos to the 3C.

Jst watched the video just to count the lead changes. 5 at the line but 24 around the track. What a race. Last lap was great but the race was filled with great moves all night long. I've seen a long of LPS races and this has to be ranked as one if not the best sprint race ever.



More to come at Jackslash later

Rare a single race brings this much conversation unless there's controversy. This can only be good for racing. Wish I lived near the track.

the excitement last night can't be shown in video clip one of those things that have to be experienced live; confirms why I drive almost 2 hours to LPS every time I can
