Well Don, we do agree on one thing, when you spend the money you owners spend, you probably expect more. But you know, as a fan and the money we spend to support you owners etc., with NO chance to recover any of our expenses, we expect you to be able to adapt and set-up your equipment to put on a good show for us no matter what the conditions are. Not complain about track conditions the nights you don't run as good as you would like. Again, you folks should have been running the bottom in every chance you had. Maybe the evening of racing should have not started off with the bottom sloppy but how many of you tried to run it in when you had a chance? We have done the same things years ago as a car owner, driver or crew member. We've not ran as well as we've wanted and then blamed the track, another driver for taking us out or blocking us, but when you look back, if we'd have hit the set-up a little better we'd have just drove off and went on, as Ballou, Darland, Shuman etc did.
Let's look at the finish. The winner Ballou started 9th, Darland started 11th and ran 3rd, Shuman started 12th and ran 4th, Anderson and Cottle started way back and ran 5th and 6th, Imel started 6th and was challenging for 4th at one point. The 36 car started 7th and ran 8th. Sorry, I don't think you should be complaining. Armstrong is the only car that started and finished in front of you.
I really enjoy seeing the 36 car run. You have towed all over the country in the past and have always been a very competitive team. We appreciate your efforts and will still be a fan of the 36 car, and agree, the track prep was off Saturday night, but not from lack of effort. But again, you all had the same obstacles to overcome and I say thank you to all the owners, drivers, track crews etc for attempting to have a good night of racing.
