This was an extraordinary night of racing. Kevin Thomas Jr always had the talent. Now he has honed his skills to the point where he can be a threat to win on any given night. And if he just slipped just a tiny bit last night he would have wound up third.

We get a sentimental favorite in Chase Stocken finishing a very close second and Brady Bacon in the local Hoffman car a nearly as close third.

As stated above^^^ Dave Darland should get an award for gutting out a race essentially on three wheels. Yeah it was the left front and that wheel isn't used as much but try it sometime. That's why he is the peoples champion.

Track prep was as good as it gets. Many Kudos to Dave and the crew.

The only bads on the whole night was Chris Windom bending his car up pretty good on a collision with Ted Hines on a racing deal and one of our locals Justin Owen looking smooth in qualifying only to have something break on the steering and messing up the rear end in the process.

I sent a message to one of our local TV stations this morning on Facebook to give a shout out to the race last night at the 'burg and that this is the best auto racing on the planet, better than NASCAR, better than any. And I don't just mean this particular show. I mean everywhere in Indiana, in Illinois and Ohio. We have an industry here that is providing us with some great entertainment. We are very lucky.
