How's the weather looking up at the track?

Re: sumar classic
 

I live three miles from the track and it hasn't rained at all, today. It has been cloudy, but the sun's trying to come out. It rained like hell yesterday, but it was over by early afternoon, so the track should be heavy and fast.

Thanks Jerry. I'll be heading that way in a few hours.

Still no rain. Looks like everything is well south of here.

Lucky Kids. Wish I could be there!!!:13:

They have sat in three vintage cars ate a hot dog and got a Brady Bacon shirt already. When the hot laps started they were amazed at how super fast they were going.

I am SO Jealous!:8:

I thought Crown Cars had to be starter started? Can someone explain?

Re: sumar classic
 

Starting lineup...Dave Darland's time of 21.091 is disallowed due to overall width
Good to see Tracy Hines back after surgery to repair the broken collarbone.

Cockrum just looks so dominant up to this point. But CJ Leary is making a nice run in the last several laps and Coons kind hung with Shane after this last restart.

Red...hines tipped over, thomas jr. involved, both ok, 13 to go. Cockrum, Coons, Leary, Bacon, Cottle. Thomas restarted.

Cochran just seems to be playing with the field.

CockrumCoonsLearyBaconCottle. Great race, track was barely dusty, but very fast. Cockrums 2nd Silver Crown win.

Shane dominated that race. So, so awesome!

Great Race!

How many mods did they end up getting over there tonight?

Glad to hear this... Shane's a good driver!! Anyone know if he's gotta a ride for Sprint Week? If he doesn't he should have!! :)

Approx 14 mods

For a lot of that race, it looked like it was going to be a run away, because Shane Cockrum had broken away from Jerry Coons and established a big lead. At one time, up to almost a full straightaway. One two successive restarts after yellows, he repeated that. During that time, Coons was a strong second, Brady Bacon was holding down third place, Kody Swanson was slowly fading and Shane Cottle and CJ Leary were on the move. There was a restart on about lap 85 and things were different this time. Coons hung with Cockrum and began putting pressure one the leader. CJ Leary, who had driven his way into the top 5, aggressively put himself into the top 3 right after that restart. Another restart and he would pass Coons and then he was all over the leader. He took the lead away from Shane and looked fast, but the yellow came out and he would have to give it back. That's the last he would see of the lead though, because he had showed his hand and Shane stood on the gas and closed out the show. Even though it wasn't that close at the end as far as who the winner was going to be, second through sixth was a real war, for the last ten laps or so. By that time, Justin Grant had even driven his way into the lead group and was battling with the top runners. It was a good race and a well deserved win for Shane Cockrum. What is about that family and hundred lappers? Cliff was also always so tough in races of that lap count.

Hines did not tip over!

Just got home - great race! So glad we went

It was too muddy on the inside of the front stretch for the crews to start and move out of harms way. They also moved the work area from the front stretch to outside of 3 & 4 due to the mud.

Great night of racing for the Champ Cars on a half mile. It was an awesome sight to see 4 wide high and low on the restart with about 10 laps to go instead of a one car run away too. Congrats to Shane Cockrum and crew on the win.
