Fine by me, beer was just as cold either way.

Late models are late models all across the country except where they run crate models. The difference is all of them stopped running for anything less than 3 or 4 thousand to win. Notice there really isn't to many weekly tracks? It's all big money stuff, and special shows. There are sprint car tracks all over the country that run weekly for much less, but it's also a lot cheaper at the gate, and at the pit gate.
