I disagree and I just love this place.
I didn't spend all this money to see 2 more nights of this domination.
They need to fix this imbalance soon.
All the racing was for 4th on back.
I pay to see "real" competitive racing, not this.

Sometimes a team just dominates a particular type of racing. It's happened throughout history. My dad used to tell stories of how Dizz Wilson would roll in with Dick Gaines and whoever he had in the #71 car and you pretty much knew who was going to finish first and second. And that happened for a number of years. Karl and Steve dominated pretty much the first decade of the World of Outlaws. Steve Lewis did the same in USAC midget racing in the 90's and early 2000's. And Tony Stewart has won like 8 out of the last 12 USAC Sprint titles. It happens. It's not the fault of Keith Kunz or any of these other car owners. If they're playing by the rules, the answer isn't penalizing or handicapping them. They're just trying to put the best possible team on the track they can. It's about the competition and you can't kill the spirit of competition. Everybody else has to figure out a way to get to their level. Eventually somebody will.

Trust me, I know its rough to go and know that the probability of one car or team dominating is a real probability.

But its far from the first time. How often was Vogler beaten in a midget? one in three, four? K. Briscoe and Short domination at Bloomington? Dick Gaines and Wilkerson showed up and you were running for second.

If Keith's playing by the rules and I have no reason to believe he's not. I don't see how bashing his team does anything but remove three midgets, sometimes a sprint or champ car from all competitions. Hell, I remember them showing up with Whitt in a underpowered toyota V8 Sprint and still running up front.

Honestly don't matter how good the car is if you can't drive it. These guys got talent, I wish em well. These guys are winning in WoO too in other cars as did Larson. Kyle Larson already has a Sprint team. If these guys move up and get successful I hope they give back and field teams. We need em, drivers we got. A shortage of rides and sponsorships is the problem.

I remember years back when any of the #9 midgets showed up you were going to have to beat them. They are gone now, Kunz is on top but it won't last forever and some individual or team will be next.
