Shane had clutch issues besides the fact the car was running 260 degrees after 13 laps. Definitely disappointed in the race. Looked like hot laps with all the cars not running right. Very few actually sounded like they were running right and it was sad to see such a sad car count and grandstands that were barely 1/4 full. As far as the fuel issue goes, it should be optional in my opinion. We only run the dirt tracks, so points aren't really of importance to us, but it is very difficult for low budget teams to spend hours of dyno time, thousands in motor changes, and countless hours that should be spent with our families and friends instead of worrying about the next goofy rule. Wish we could all get together to make them understand our point of view. We are a low budget team, and we just have the desire to compete, have a great time,, and a ton of laughs, and just maybe...just maybe work hard enough to maybe someday win a race. Congratulations to Jerry Coons though! He definitely had his car figured out.

This ones a cheers to all the little guys. The guys not running Toyota motors. The guys that don't have hundreds of thousands invested in their cars and rigs. The guys that just feel lucky to start a USAC Silver Crown race. The guys who do it for the enjoyment and the love for racing. Maybe it's time for some other people to get that!
