I have to agree with Kevin and Don Short completely. The track was not ready, and the racing was not competitive. As Kevin said, the only passing happened when someone pushed off the track and the trailing cars went by. Until the final 10 laps of the feature, it was follow the leader. I don't think even the great last 10 laps was worth the $25/$35. I watched the guys running in the track and was surprised they didn't run the bottom, but I know for a fact Stanbrough & Briscoe did run in the muck and thru it up all over, but no one else would follow. John needed the bottom to try to get to the front, it didn't work. I don't blame Mel/Dave for there effort, I saw them all week out there prepping. For whatever reason, the track just wasn't ready and the racers and fans missed an opportunity to finish 2007 with a big payday/great race.
