Just a few clarifications

I believe Tobias used a lot of eastern modified designs when he built that car that barrel rolled into turn 1 at Springfield in 2003. IIRC, they had a sprint car a the shop that was built similar for the Eldora event, and took it and stretched it into a dirt car.

It's true Rich never had a qualifying time at DuQuoin in 2003 and did start last (13th) in the semi, he did not win it, he finished 5th as Kevin Huntley won it in the SC 97. He did not start last in the Ted Horn 100, he started 25th and took the lead from JJ Yeley on lap 76.

Walker did not set a track recod in 2003, that was set by Teddy Beach. Beach was the 30th scheduled qualifier and his time of 29.947 was (at that time) a world record.

Walker set the existing track record the next year.
