They will recover & be fast, but I'm sure there were plenty talking last year when front engine guys have had issues there...thats how it goes tho...

'"Special" Ed (the only Salem sprinter car winner & Hulman 100 polesitter in the field!) was 3rd fastest ystrdy & 10th today...could be drafting too tho...(but it's cool & he can run a limited sched & keep coming back there & being fast! Year after year!)
I think Ed can hold his own with no tow too, considering he was a back-to-back pole winner a few years ago. No doubt it's his experience around this place that has all 3 of his cars in the top ten.
