No way Buckwalter gets his spot back. Also, no way Windom should have started the last restart. He should have been shown the black flag after taking out the leader. If USAC would have done that, a lot of this controversy would have died last night.

When the track is like pavement you’re bound to have “boogity boogity boogity” type incidents. Not blaming Williams Grove either, 100 laps on dirt is far too many.

USAC plan; USAC Star take out local who is leading the race. Inflame the racing public. Stir up PR for a series on life support. Pat the USAC star on the back for job well done. USAC go tell local runner "sorry to take you out, but it will be great for the sport". This is the same formula used to advance southern stock car racing. Expect more contrived rivalry in the three national series in the future. I hope no one gets hurt in the process.

Don't worry there will be no repercussions for him since he drives for NOS and his girlfriend is a reporter

To me it was racing. Plain and simple. If you want, fine the man after the race. But too many contrived rules would make the series a (bigger)joke. See Formula 1.....
This series is on life support, there's not a lot of interest anymore. Maybe it's time to give it the ax and let the sprinters take over at the remaining mile dirt tracks

Hmmmm. There is evidence to the contrary.

Those who took the time to attend The Bettenhausen Memorial at Springfield last August saw 100 laps/miles of some of the best racing you'll ever see anywhere on any size track. Some of the days' best racing took place during the last 25 laps/miles. Springfield is dirt and it was a day show to boot! The 2017 Bettenhausen was almost as good as 2018. Two weeks later Du Quoin was nearly as good as Springfield and it also was 100 laps/miles on dirt but it was run after dark.
