I've been watching open wheel racing since 1960 and I agree. None of us in the area in which I was sitting could believe that USAC sent Coons to the back of the pack for putting the car on the track too late. It seemed to us that the car had been there along with the rest of them. However, all this did was set up one of the best, most satisfying drives I have ever seen. What a show! I think all of us came to our feet at the same time when he took the lead. Look at who he passed to win (some of them twice due to yellow flags setting him back right after he had passed someone. It would have been worth the price of admission just seeing the battle up front between Darland and Stenhouse.
Nights like this are why we all love nonwing sprint car racing.
