I was actually surprised to see 26 midgets make the tow. Agreed that the trip would have been much more effective with at least one more show on the weekend, but hopefully they can get something together for next year if they decide to do it again. Obviously, there are plenty of paved tracks between Virginia and North Carolina....
The midgets just didn't have enough to get to a second groove. The field was very tight, as you could see, and there just wasn't much opportunity to make a pass. Sprint cars would likely be better on that track.
I wish USAC luck in trying to get a decent swing through the Southeast and I'd still love to see a swing through the Northeast. It's important to keep the pavement side of the coin alive and the fields are probably as solid now as they have been in quite some time, so it would be nice to see them keep a good pavement schedule and add some decent new tracks.
Mike Murgoitio was actually the hardest charger, coming from 23rd to 11th. He actually led Kuhn through some of the cars on their way forward. They actually did a very nice job.
It was nice to see Kody Swanson put it all together and pick up that first win. He's been knocking on the door for a while, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him tack on a few more this season...
