I just want to thank all the people who made the race possible. Bobby announced that next year will be at least $74JO to win. Lawrenceburg Safety Crew, Giddens, Rons Roost, A Trucking company The Owen and Fischesser Families and others Im sure deserve credit for a whole lot of work. Everyone who bought a T shirt or decals The Trophy maker (It was awesome) You could clearly see the angels wings glowing from the stands in victory lane.

Way to turn a sad memory into a awesome enjoyable tribute to J.O!

Similar stuff to be done for the Greg Staab Memorial in Oct.

Do not interpret as a gripe. It is however that if the tracks could cooperate from time to time especially around special events that it could be beneficial. I was going to LPS from the time it opened and will continue to do so.

Plenty of cars for both tracks on this particular night. Majority of LPS runners were not about to run with USAC that date.

Funny how everyone assumed he was pissed about not being left at his crew. Yet he was trying to jump off before the guy came to a stop. Maybe the banging the fence or the fact he was pissed because the front of the frame was dragging in the gravel and he was yelling forward for the guy to stop. RB was upset for sure but shouldn’t have touched the guy.

Wouldn't have hit the wall if Robert held the wheel straight. Robert has enough experience to know if you're getting towed from the rear you have to hold the wheel straight. If you don't the front end will wonder. Before it even got close to hitting the wall the wheels were turned pretty hard to the left. Landon Simon and a few other drivers said the same thing on an Instagram post. Opening is not much wider than the tow truck it's self.
