Heydenreich in the #90 passed 3 on one move on the outside on lap 98 or 99 and also did a pretty impressive "thread the needle" on the last lap. He moved up from 14th to 9th in 2 laps going by Levi Jones, AJ Fike and Bud Kaeding. Unfortunately we had a terrible qualifying time, and had to start 23rd.

Todd Kane was about 50 car lengths behind us at the conclusion of the first 50-lap race. He made a wise choice not to change tires. I don't like the change in format -- Silver Crown is the only racing series that has the fuel cells large enough to go the distance. Why mess with tradition? The first 50 laps is nothing but a qualifying race in my opinion. If this race had been run for the full 100 laps, the outcome would have been completely different.

The infield looked really ratty and unkempt:



But it looks beautiful as soon as the lights go on and the stars come out:

When I was over in the stands spotting I was able to take some videos from hot laps. It's not the best footage because I was stuck on the outside when the cars were running and couldn't make it back in time to get some footage from a better vantage point.
