The broadcast team did a great job explaining what a midget is to the uninitiated viewer. But I do wish they would've played up the Indy 500 angle a little bit more than just talking about Tony Stewart and Bryan Clauson. Maybe show some footage from Donnie Beechler's Tulsa win in '95, or from Rich Vogler's winning of a Golden Driller in '87. Then show footage of them from the 500. As much as those of us in the IOW-community might wish they could've shown highlights from the entire week, I think spending more of the broadcast making the connection between the Indy 500 and the Chili Bowl would've done a better job of holding the interest of the general public than showing the 2nd B-Main.

But bottom line, we got dirt track racing on over the air TV.
