Hmm. Very good question. Let me see.

No. 5: Inaugural Lone Star 100 at Battleground Speedway, Highlands, Texas for WoO Late Models. Great race. For the entire distance, there were multiple grooves and constant lead changes. Not your typical WoO late model race. Shannon Babb got his only win of the year, and got to ride the Longhorn Steer brought into victory lane. Similar event on the schedule for 2010, but don't believe it will be 100 laps (one day show only).

No. 4: Modified Madness USMTS Modifieds again at Battleground Speedway. First day of a three day show, and the only day that got in due to rain. Local driver Howard Willis driving an Evolution chassis gets a rare (for Howard) USMTS win, fighting from mid pack.

No. 3: Regular show at VCS on 16 May 2009. Nick Bilbee flat out drove Jon Stanbrough that night. So many times I thought that Jon was going to get by, but Nick came right back. Just an amazing race. Minus a point or two because of the dust, but VCS was the only track racing after heavy rains in the area that night.

No. 2: Hmm. I guess I will go with Chad Boat's win at Kokomo during Sprint Week. The track was heavy and treacherous all night and tough on both cars and competitors. Nic Faas had that terrible multi car wreck but still came out and raced in the feature while coughing blood. There is a toughness among sprint car drivers, while maybe not wise, is certainly amazing.

No. 1: Easy choice, and I am not alone in this one. Kamp Motor Speedway during Sprint Week. Others have described the race better than I can, only to say that many folks, feeling Kamp would be miserable and dusty (it was a little on both counts) missed an incredible performance. To be honest, if not for the dust, Kamp would even be one of my favorite places to at least shoot a race. You have to love the shape of it, the width and the banking. Others may argue, but it reminds me of a 2/3 scale Eldora.
