We are very lucky that the Gundakers are willing to have this event year after year.

The 167 count for the modifieds was the total for all three nights, but, yeah, I'm sure they made money on that deal. I made it down there for the final night, and it was a heck of a show.

When Tammy G. made the call on the pit p.a. for the sprints to go to staging for their feature last night, she followed up with "Congratulations, and thanks everyone for coming." Little stuff like that can go a long way.
