I honestly don't believe he was hired for track prep, as he was waiting for a pit pass, long after activities were initially scheduled to begin. Wrong as this may seem to many, if I was promoting at Terre Haute, I actually would hire Mr. Olsen for track prep.
There, I said it.
I also actually disagree with a lot of the 11 pages of negativity on the other post, and like one post did say, appreciate the effort to try and keep some old school traditions. I also believe they were in a no win situation... But that is for another post.
One thought I did have: A good way to possibly make up some good will... Run the 100 lap Silver Crown feature race the same night as the ISW race... Sounds like a fun night to me!

Olsen did to a fairly good job at track prep.The only thing was to keep him away from the money.
