T-Mez drew the 8 both Friday and Saturday and won them both. With non wing racing- passing is possible. The redraw is the only reason the fans got to see as much passing for the lead as they did.

True and it made for a neat heat.

He could have won from 12th. he said himself he was too tight for the first several laps of the feature and that was evident. He wasn't moving forward. Once he got it going he moved up 7 spots. Good handling at that start and maybe one more yellow. No reason he couldn't have won. Things are different at every race for everybody
It's possible to win from anywhere and I've seen it done with multiple podiums from people starting outside the top 15 and a few wins from the tail.

When T-Mez was throwing her into turn 3 at Limaland he was damn near parallel with the straights sometimes.

I went up to Fremont for a non wing show 1 time & you seen 3 distinct driving styles. Locals seemed to wait a little longer before pitching it, USAC or Indiana guys a little further back & then the Cali guy's were getting after it at the flagstand or just past it.
