I tell you what, If USAC used this format and made a heat finish mean more than a transfer. THEY'D HAVE PACKED HOUSES! and fourth would still be a transfer, Was great seeing Tracy come from 9th to pass clauson and BC saying Oh hecky no YOU ALMOST NEVER SEE GUYS IN A TRANSFER racing that hard for one more spot in USAC HEATS except for fourth! Also grant coming from tail to third ect The first three heats were stellar!

The only thing I didn't understand was the fast timers who didn't qualify in the heat getting put in front of the B transfers who RACED THEIR WAY IN.

That being said, Landon Simon had a rocket ship and qualified top three? That wheel of missfortune bit him bad and what heartbreak when Ballou got him for final transfer in B.

IDK, Was it me or was Ballou clearly a half second faster than anyone. I seen him hit the lip a couple times in the feature and almost loose it, He needed the Yellow to catch BC and DD but WATCHING BALLOU ALONE WAS WORTH THE TRIP.

DD, Awesome race! Congrats!

What got into Stockton? Kids been bad fast all sprintweek and last night, I mean He's been much improved as far as national races lately. Good Job Chase! Hope Sam was able to get there to see it!

BC was coming before the final yellow, Don't know what would have happen if they'd of caught the lappers..

Track didn't take rubber all night which I loved, I still can't get used to cars gunning low and being as fast as cushion runners, Oh wait, THEY aren't. Ballou rode it as much as possible.

Had fun, crowd was good. Liked the format much more than USAC Regular. Reminded me of Gaines, Bob kinser, Wilkerson racing from the tail to win heats not transfer from a third or fourth finish.
