I make toe bonzai run to Bloomington after work yesterday (with the exception of I74 from Harrison to the Indiana border which was a dead stop). In spite of that, to us “Easterners” Bloomington wins the ISW award for best drive to the track mainly because of Brown County Park. Once there DannyB had a place saved but being a little late and with the festivities getting under way shortly I grabbed the first place I could find in turn one which was along side Mud Packer and RacinBabe. A big thank you to them and Danny.

Some observations:

Anytime you can win two Sprint Week features with the lineups so full of talent you must be doing something right. Hunter Percent and the #35 team should be proud and a third win wouldn't surprise me in the least before ISW is over.

I thought local favorite Danny Holtsclaw would fall back from his third starting spot as the cream rose to the top. Danny would take the long time Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn ride on a great run and would keep it in the top three nearly the whole way, at times pushing Hunter for the lead.

If it were a 40 lap feature Clauson, Stanbrough and especially DD would have had a say about who would win last night. All three were fun to watch from their back in the pack starting positions. Darland was able to outgas Holtsclaw to the checker by mere inches for second.

Wes Mac is the real deal. He gave everything Hunter could handle and led around the first 12 circuits. His bad luck and finishing position certainly did not reflect the great run he had for 28 laps.

One of the 'burg's favorites, Chad Boesflug continues to have a solid Sprint Week. He was bounced back early in the going but battled back to finish ninth.

I was a bit surprised that 45 cars were on the grounds in one of the final shows of Sprint Week. Great turnout.

Danny Burton usually proudly gives the timing report for the completion of the feature at Bloomington. I will scoop him. Hunter took the checker at 10:05. Even with a few red flags mixed in the program kept moving all night.

It was a great night of racing. It had all the prerequisites, a race track, sprint cars, good drivers, to keep me happy the whole evening long.
