They were sure driving like it was! Totally insane racing. Makes stock cars and winged sprints look like child’s play. Hate to see that happen to Bright. Was looking forward to watching his car in person at Terre Haute. Looked like Grant kept trying to pinch Garrett on the starts and Bright paid a big price. After these first three nights I’ve decided I’ve got to do all 8 nights next year!

Some announcer called it a "SLOBBER KNOCKER" WTH?

That was some of the baddest Badassery I've ever witnessed

Garrett had caught and passed a couple times JG just before the first caution at at halfway. I really gotta go back and watch Flo to see Learry take the lead from third on the restart. I looked up and was like WOW.

Ballou can thank Bacon for not T- Hboneing him when he flipped, Brady I have no idea how he got woahed and pointed not at him by the time Ballou landed..

Lap 29 had Three wide coming around three and four from the lead and on lap 30 Bacon grabs third from 22ND! He ran high, he ran low, he passed on the the outside, On the inside and Im not sure a couple weren't Lopsided.

Asked Rob Hoffman what happened in qualifying. He threw a brake caliper. had no brakes still qualified fourth before the DQ (Thinks the scales may be off but everyone else aparently passed) Caliper is only maybe ten pounds. Anyway he started tail of heat and got top four. Tail of feature and podiumed.

Congrats to JG on the win. Eighteen cars finished. Was a great evening. Hated to see Brights misfortune, he's always been good here, even in a Midget.

See ya'll tomorrow. I hope.
