I hate that for Mitchell. Was the car junked? I noticed there were quite a few that didn't race last night- Hendrick, Vanderweerds, and a few others. Hope to see them back in action for the rest of Sprint Week.

Have heard Clauson broke the steering prior to heat 1. Going to backup car.

Long shot here, did anyone get a picture of the green Subaru station wagon packing in the track. Would love to see pictures of it.

Braylon didn't run the feature due to a broken brake rotor. That is what he told me after the races. I must say it was a great pleasure to be able to get to wheel pack in the vehicle that is carrying me and my sister to all of the races this year. Speaking of that does anybody have pics from wheel packing? Would be nice to have a pic of the tahoe on the track.

To the promoters-Thanks for starting an hour late although they should have announced it that way. Some weirdos on here seem to want things to start in the afternoon and have even dustier tracks. Thanks for not listening to them! Temps did drop right before the feature allowing me to enjoy a different type of beverage. After Sargent cut it before the B it was a lot dustier. I wish you would just try leaving it alone one night and see what happens. Please fix the PA in the grandstand...please!! It was fun to watch Clayton back in the saddle again! Too bad the engine was cooked, hope Morgan's is as good.

All I have to say is thanks for taking this track on. It may not have been the best race ever but... it was still **** good! I'll take it over no Terre Haute at all any day! A P.A. we can hear would be great though.

Dirt tracks are not supposed to be perfect every night, that's dirt. Thats why we do it because of the constant changing of track conditions, it's like the USMC says. Adapt, improvise and overcome!
