Looking at the #81 car on the trailer at the pit gate was probably the high point of the night at Haubstadt.

It brought back memories when all the cars would be lined up on open trailers at the pit gate and you could visit with the drivers and examine the cars.

I remember at some state fair pit gates when the cars would be waiting to get in and running Saturday night as a "Super Modified". In the back of the pick up was a different tail and single roll bar to make the "Super Modified" into a "Sprint Car" for a Sunday afternoon race.

I'm sure an open trailer helps make a sprint car business case a little more feasible.
