I agree. Two of the best sprint races I've seen this year have been there. Unfortunately, track conditions dictated a lot in the way things went, tonight. I wish there was a way that they could have the flexibility to do some track repair in circumstances like we had for this race. The best guy still won, in this case. But, instead of a great race back throughout the field, like it is so often there, it ended up mainly being a showcase for the versatility of Jon Stanbrough and Hunter Schuerenberg, who were working their way around and past people, while most others were bottled up on the low groove. It was a tough night on the red clay, tonight. We had a good night on the hill, none the less. It was kind of like a slightly stale family get together.

Bottom, line though is that we have ended up with just exactly what many thought we would in 2010 ISW. We're going to one of the best tracks anywhere, with only seven points separating the two best sprint car drivers in the country. It all comes down a duel between the three time USAC national champion and the toughest guy, in racing's baddest neighborhood, who also leads the country in A-Main wins. Last year's finale at Haubstadt was a classic. This one has that written all over it, too.
