I completely concur with Frank's remarks. This was one of the greatest sprint car races we have ever witnessed.
The crowd was completely disgusted with USAC when they made what seemed to be a "Bone-Head" call sending Jerry to the rear for being late in bringing his car to the track. This call was ridiculous as Jerry Coons pushed his own sprint car to the track with his ATV prior to driver introductions. We even commented while the cars were being lined-up on the front stretch how neat it was to see Jerry pushing his own car with a quad. In no way did the Hoffman's or Jerry Coons delay the show. The flagman and USAC spotters should have been the individuals penalized for the numerous LATE YELLOW flags. I am surprised USAC did not get Tony Jones killed when he lost power just past the flag stand and coasted all the way to the back stretch, waving his arm, before the yellow flag was ever displayed.
Congratulations to Jerry Coons and Hoffman Racing for one of the most exciting sprint car race ever!!!! Bob, Sandra and Marissa Farris :respect::respect::respect:
