I had a great time! I LOVE sprints and midgets on asphalt. Dirt is great, too - but the pavement really does it for me.

Roarhig was fast qualifier, I think, and came from 10th spot for the win. ...

the leader board in T2 helps alot. But it gets confusing keeping track of which cars are in the top 5 because they havn't pitted yet and still need to. I wish the scoreboard would provide more...

That was a really good race.

I was able to get the whole family in for $40 and see a lot of good racing. I'd love to have more of that.

I thought Kyle O'Gara was fantastic in that race. He...

Is this the first win for one of the Gene Nolen V-6 spring cars in the Little 500? I can't remember if Swanson was driving the V-6 when he won a couple of years ago. Has one of these cars ever won...

Is Anderson Speedway getting slower?
5/25/18, 8:22 AM
Caleb Armstrong had a fast four-laps in qualifying in 2016. The weather stunk in 2017 so we won't count that. But otherwise it looks like the lap times for Little 500 qualifying are trending up. ...

I plan to be there on the back straight again this year.

Anyone who thinks that was a decent crowd doesn't remember what a pole day crowd was like 30-40 years ago. The difference is enormous!

I assume Davey Hamilton, Jr. is the son of supermodifed driver Davey Hamilton, Sr.

I love that purple frame on the top #92. That's a good looking racecar.

Does Goodyear make tires for sprint cars anymore? I don't ever recall noticing Goodyear tires on a dirt car.
