I would say one that I won't forget is the Levi flat tire at Terre Haute and USAC letting him restart in the lead. Then everyone running out of fuel and JS going from 3rd to the win. Lets not forget the chaos that followed with everyone jumping the officals butts and one crew member swearing at the fans who were booing them. What a weird night.......

The most exciting thing was at the Knoxville Nationals. Unfortunately, it was not racing related, but trying to get out of the grand stands in a rain storm with lightning strikes in the area.

I am sure that it was crazy and exciting. There is also a big potential in being shocking, too.

The craziest thing I saw this year was at Bloomington. After a crash in either the mod or super stock race, around 5 or 6 "fans" scaled the frontstretch catch fence as if they were going to try to climb over. The flagman pointed them out and they were escorted out.

My most exciting moment was having USAC Silver Crown cars return to the track I grew up at - Oswego Speedway.

Most exciting was Kenny Nifflis winning the Sheldon Kinser memorial, couldn't have happened to a better guy. The most unusuan was probably the whole Travis Tood Lee Hobbs incident. Gotta love it when someone srops on the backstretch and waits for someone else.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the craziest thing that I saw in racing. Houston Raceway Park, after sending out press releases about the upcoming 2010 season, including class changes, sponsors, etc. takes it all back on the last points night, stating that there would be no weekly racing on the dirt oval in 2010 AND that the points fund for the 2009 season would not be honored. Of course, there was no press release for that.
