I have not been to the Chili Bowl since 1999. I thought the track was pretty good all week. I liked that it wasn't the same the whole week. Pursley had a great run. 4th to 1st in the D, 16th to 5th in the C, 20th to 5th in the B, and 20th to 4th in the A.
I thought Cale Coons was impressive and racing along side his Dad was a great story. Hank Davis finishing 5th was a good story. Corey Day continues to prove that he is a solid racer. I thought the prelim nights were all solid. Even though it took rubber, which will happen when you have 24 cars on a fifth mile track. especially after running over 350 cars on it for 8 hours.
I thought they did a good job of streamlining the driver intros, and I had no complaints with the races getting over earlier than years past every night. I hope they always consider the fans in attendance over the people watching at home. Every shot I saw of the crowd, everyone looked like they were having fun. That should be the number 1 priority. Logan Seavey has had an unbelievable past year, and has worked hard to get to this point.
I am sure most people in attendance have already renewed their hotel rooms and tickets for next year. So I am not sure I would tweek too much if I was the promoter.
