Track Enterprises ROCKS! Gotta give them a lot of credit lately as I did not expect to see a cushion last very long given the weather conditions and lack of rain leading up to it. It's was so cool to see how hard they were throwing it into the corners! CJ Leary was spectacular as he pushed the cushion higher and higher throughout the race, spraying rooster tails as be backed it in to turn one. It was like watching an old Wallen video except with modern cars at night. I've never seen them run so high in turn two, almost on the wall. Once again there were 3 distinct lines they could run and it made for incredible racing. I wonder if USAC could do something about fuel mileage or maybe just the crew chiefs. I'd hate to see the drivers have to go conservative just to finish, that nullifies awesome track prep and fearless drivers putting on a show that fills the grandstands.
Looking forward to the remaining TE shows at Terre Haute and after what I've seen at Springfield and Du Quoin, can't wait for more on the miles next year. Maybe they would entertain the thought of a third race in Illinois. Call it the Governor's Cup and alternate each year between State Fair speedways. Once again, thank you Track Enterprises for all you do!
