Thank you USAC for providing us fans with an excellent, dramatic sprint car season. I live in California now but not too close to Perris Auto Speedway. However, after seeing how the first two nights went by watching the highlight videos, I weaseled out of work and made the six and a half hour drive to Southern California to witness the season’s final race. And I’m sure glad I did. It would be difficult to script a more thrilling conclusion to the season.

Congrats to Tyler Courtney and the entire CMNR team. Not a bad result for the team’s first year on the sprint car tour. I was in the stands almost directly across from their hauler and saw how nervous Tim was under those last few cautions while the championship was still up for grabs. It was awesome to see him and the other team members celebrating atop the hauler after Sunshine took the checkers.

Hope next season can be great as well. Can’t even believe I’m lucky enough to have been there but also get to make the trip to Ventura for Turkey night less than two weeks after.
