I had a few people comment that the track looked smaller. Are they moving the tires in further?

So I guess Jim Anderson didnt drive on the outside on the start from 6th to 3rd and than pass Bischak for 2nd??

The tires were moved out for the midgets and it made it a one lane track

Jim Anderson started 6th and finished 2nd, and passed 3 of us on the outside on the start.

I think they need to stop letting the kart guys prep it destroys the track

I had a great time but was disappointed to see them move the tires out for the midgets and 360's. Maybe they thought it was too slippery on the inside. I think it would have made for 2 wide with that cushion of rubber. It was a big crowd Saturday. I know they have a lot of cars to run but they need to work on starting the last 3 mains earlier. The highlight of my weekend was talking to Mel and getting a selfie with Don and Mel. (Not the grand funk guys.)

Wasn't Peck suspended by USAC this past year for a drug violation? Kokomo and the All Stars also recognized the suspension? Apparently he was given the ok to run in the Ft. Wayne event.

Anyone know what the status of the USAC/All Stars/Kokomo suspension is? Is he good to go in 2019?

Justin's a good kid; I talked with him at PRI and he pretty much echoed what was said in the article, that he's eager to learn from his mistakes, put the past behind him and focus on being better. The win at the Rumble should go a long way towards setting him up for a successful 2019.
