Wow what can you say, when we pulled in the track was watered and ready to go then came the rain. First a sprinkle or two then a pretty steady rain for close to an hour, with the sky clearing a little the track let us know they were going forward and would try to get the race in before the next round of rain came.

The track was smooth and very fast, moving the show along they called for the feature line up and pushed the cars off keeping in mind that the rain was just outside the track, they knew the feature was not going to happen but pushed for the missing man deal to honor Josh his family and friends.

There main goal was to put on a good show and when they seen that it was not going to happen they made sure to show honor and respect to a fallen driver then call it a night.

The rains came fast and steady, as the cars pulled off the track knowing we were done all we could think of was how commited the O'Connors are to the racing world.

I will tell you from where we stood they did everything possible to get the show in, nobody could have done a better job.
Thank you goes out to the fans that stayed even with rain all night and a huge thank you to all the staff at the Kokomo Speedway.

Josh went to the crash house to check on A.J. he is pretty beat up and was going to have another doctor check his chest a little closer, more than likely headed home tonight, sore and pretty beat up but after the ride he took I would be shocked if nothing was wrong.

Again get well A.J. stay strong Burton family and thank you to the Kokomo Speedway and all the fans that make this deal happen week after week.
