However. This is far from anything new, far from a indiana thing and USAC has nothing to do with it. Dale Sr. and Steve Kinser had a ton of haters back in the 80s and 90s. I don't get the cheering a wreck. However knowing someone else, now can win..............?

Also However and I'll give this example. I was at THE FIELD a few weeks back and there was a big two night Powri show in IL going on same night and some fans around me were informing me on Powri. I said I can tell you the top four before they even race, I had all the drivers right and only third and fourth were swapped in finishing order. If I could pick horse races like this. I could be a team owner and not a fan

I have no doubt that Bell and Abreu are among the best of the best and I root for them. However, It's always a bit sweeter when a underdog wins.

I was reading through the ARDC rules the other day and wonder why the toyotas are banned? I got nothing against Toyota, But if its anything like Mopar was entering Sprint cars. Open up the checkbook, its gonna take a boatload of cash to catch em

i'm pretty sure that the toyota was banned because of cost. i have "heard" a few prices for a new toyota. some were in the 60k range, some were in the 30k range. the price is in the 30k range, i know there are more expensive motors running ardc.....if they are in the 60k range, im glad they banned them before someone bought one and obsoleted every motor running ardc now.....but i have always believed that its not so much the motor in midget racing. just cause you can buy it doesnt mean you can drive it. keith kunz tweeted a couple days ago that one of his drivers won driving a fike car and said something to the effect of "see....its not just the motors, these kids are flat outdriving everyone"......but having keith kunz and toyota behind you sure makes the drivers job a lot easier
