It is an endurance race. Tires and fuel often play a major role in the outcome. But to see these beautiful cars come flying down the straightaways on a big mile track then slam it into the corners is just amazing, especially under the lights at DuQuoin.
Leary was checked out for most of the race and we thought for sure they were going to tag the wall every single time in turns 1&2. Windom hung back quietly anywhere from 3rd to 5th and ran a clean, consistent race. And watching Coons come from the back and pick off cars one by one was awesome too.
It’s definitely a race of patience - both as a driver and as a fan. I have yet to be disappointed leaving DuQuoin. Great job by everyone!! Oh - and the fair food did not disappoint. My elephant ear and ice cream were on point.
We’ll be back again next year....
