Well, I was certainly surprised to see the only two cars that didn't change tires finish first and third. Don't know what happened to Coons; faded to 15th after leading the first 51 laps. DD moved from 9th to 3rd before the break, restarted 5th, ran high as 4th but Hmiel passed him near the end, and he finished 5th. I still wonder what would have been the outcome if they hadn't had the break.
Appearance of the infield was the worst I have ever seen. It hadn't been mowed and it really presented a bad image of the fair.
Parking was raised to $7, so maybe they generated enough money to properly care for the grounds.
The horse stables appeared to be freshly painted, and that was a definite positive
Weather was great and we had a good time, but it seems DD just can't buy a win at DuQuoin.
