The normal Montpelier crew took care of their regular cars (the UMP Mods) using their weekly announcer, flagman, infield crew, pit crew, etc... It was the only class that were ready to roll as soon as the previous heat finished. The Montpelier crew has drastically changed the track and quality of the show over the past two years. It's to bad they allowed ASCT to rent the track from them for this debacle. Hopefully, most fans can seperate the two. The ASCT ran their portion of the show themselves (ASCT flagman, announcer, pit crew, etc...) and it showed.
Thanks to all the drivers and fans who ventured to the track last night. It had been since 2003 when Montpelier last had sprint cars on the track (and the winner of the majority of those races? Paul Hazen with Jon Stanbrough aboard)
