Opinions on tonight’s racing and Eldora in general? I’ve been at least once the last 8 years and I’ve yet to see a race half was good as Kokomo, Haubstadt.

It was awful only good thing was the car count 37 USAc cars49 woo racing was one big choo choo train not worth the 29 bucks they charged for general admission I will bluntly state this since Tony Stewart took ownership of Eldora the racing only need gotten worse as for the world of outlaws they are an absolute farce Mr Gibson tries to make the races sound exciting but they are really not but he is paid to-do that it was terrible might be taking rest of2019 there off

Every race isn’t going to be fantastic. Having said that I thought the racing from the 2-6th range was pretty good, but maybe I’m just easy to please. Just because the leader checks out doesn’t mean it’s a bad race. I just enjoy about any day at a race track. Especially an incredibly nice facility like Eldora.

I enjoyed both shows. Looking forward to tonight & hope the rain holds off.
I've been around this stuff for nearly 40 years as car owner, driver & now fan and eldora is special. One reason for that is that it's SO hard to do well. And I'd say if you asked every sprint car driver in the country which track they'd most like to win at, eldora would be at the top of the list

I too thought the racing from second to sixth was pretty good for USAC. The outlaw format always start fast cars in front, so that limits passing. Once Schatz got into lap traffic, Schuhart was reeling him in so it made if more interesting. Not the best racing, but surely not the worst.

Not worth the $29 bucks? You pay that just about to see either of these series separately. Over 80 sprint cars on the grounds, show run off efficiently and ya got people griping. I suppose some folks would complain if their beer was cold

The top sprint car series in the country at the same track on the same night with no "support divisions" cant lose. One of my favorite races of the season, loved it. Hope Dave Darland is feeling better soon, the car was tore up bad.
