Happy 4th!!!

I will try to give updates tonight if anyone is interested. Hope everyone has a fun and safe evening. Let’s not forget the risk our founding fathers took that allows us to enjoy the freedom and liberties we have here in America.

Healthy car count so far. More than I was expecting.

I don’t know if I’ll see another DD win in my life. That was a DD style track and at the house that darland built. I’m good with it. I got emotional and I’m not even embarrassed

I witnessed dd first win by getting by Bobby Kinser in 1986 and if this it I am excited to have witnessed this one too ! !

I wasn’t even born yet. Lol

Dave’s first win I was 16 and dd was just a couple of years older than me.

Can anyone explain the invert/heat race lineup? Was every heat race lined up 5,1,2,3,4 like the first heat? Race pass’ lineup shows that to be wrong.

Did everyone place their trash in the receptacles that were available on the track property?Just sayin..

Congrats Dave Darland and Family Woohoo!

Honestly so many people were using the trash cans that members of The O'Connor family were changing trash bags throughout the race...of course that's what you do when it's your own property and your proud of your property and you have the baddest bullring in Indiana and arguably the nation...just sayin

I think this was his last win on 10/2/2020 at Gas City:

4th Nick Bilbee
