I think the #90 caught them sleeping on those final laps and I thought he went low (lower even) and surprised them.
Thanks for the kind words about the car. The Gold Leaf is paint, I believe. They just had it redone a few weeks ago.
Johnny caught 3 on the high side and then a few going low. His outside move was classic. Greg Staab was crewing for us, and he was amazed at the move. We were hoping someone caught it on video.
I am also thankful that Bob Sergeant is able to continue the shows on the 1-mile dirt. I don't like the split 50-lap format, but it is better than no show at all. I hope they go back to the traditional 100 laps for next year. Most of the people in the stands that I talked to were completely unaware of what was going on.
Trust me that DuQuoin made a lot of money on beer sales on a warm night under the beautiful blue skies. From my vantage point high up in the stands with the spotters, the beer was flowing among the fans. Everyone was well mannered, and they were enjoying the brews.
