Made a trip thru the pits. Forgot Ryan Newman and wife Krissie are expecting - or on "baby watch" as crew chief Brent Elmore said. That is why Kyle Larson in the second Bo-Ca Racing car, the #11.

Clouser the early jump. Wow! Hagen and Santos collected in turn 1-2. One several flips and almost out of the park! Thank goodness for the catch fence. RED IS OUT.

Everyone ok from what we hear.

I think you're right. Kramer took the wild ride.

Thank you for the updates gentlemen! Much appreciated...

Hines teaching school. Hate to say it but fairly boring. Hamilton about only one passing. Caution lap 22 erases Hines huge lead.

Re: USAC LOR updates
 

Sorry, duplication of info!

Re: USAC LOR updates
 

Hines wins easily even after a late caution. Lawson and Kody Swanson came next. Silver Crown getting the green. Sorry about the delay. Got caught working in the infield.

It goes caution FREE!
Santos, K Swanson, East, Larson, Coons, T Swanson, Gordon, Gamester, Jones, Kaeding the top 10. Six cars finish on the lead lap.

100-lap record was 35:41.40 in 2001 by Mike Bliss. This race may be close to that.

JEGS feature next. Heading out though. Thanks for checking in.

Yup. The midget result was a bummer, but the SC made up for it. :-)

Santos flag to flag won by over half track no one had a chance at him

Congrats Bobby!!!!!

Saw the midget accident on a friends phone, looked rather scary, glad everyone was all right.

Re: USAC LOR updates
 

It was! From the other end of the track it looked like he was way up on the fence then bounced off the concrete fence below. The crowd ended up being not too bad. Looked like about 1/4 stayed for the CRA race which I can still hear right now from the house.
