There for a while I thought they had the dust monster tamed. Until the feature, when it kind of woke from hibernation and went on a rampage. It wasn't a really good race, after Dave wrestled the lead away from Chase. It's always good to see Darland win, though. First of all, because he's done a lot for racing in our area and he and Phillips deserve good results. And secondly, because since he's so popular, when he wins, the crowd wants to hang around to see him celebrate his victory, so you can get out of the parking lot and down the road with a minimal amount of traffic congestion. Which helps when you have a 200 mile trip home.
I don't usually go to Eldora expecting to see an all out war, like I do at some tracks, but I always have a good time on my 2 or 3 trips there, per year. Watching cars go fast at the big track with good friends is one of the things that always makes it worth the long trip.
