Wow what a night at Indiana's baddest bullring and in my opinion one of the best tracks in the country!! So many great things last night.

The Fireworks Race is always on July 3rd at Kokomo every year. It's became a special race to me bc it's the last time I spent good time with my late father, as he passed on the morning of July 4th 2021. It's also a special night for the Crow Family as this night is know as the Dave Crow Classic. RIH Dad and Dave.

Let's fast forward to current. The City's Sewer project is coming along very quickly, very nicely. Next up, the crowd...holy **** was there a crowd or what!!!! I've not seen a "regular show" that packed at Kokomo since I was a kid. Probably anywhere since the late Jerry Gappens had GC booming every Friday night. I mean it was elbow to elbow!!!! This is just an educated guess, I'm not part of the owners so I wouldn't know exactly, but I'd venture to say there was a bigger crowd then there was at High Limit, much less Midget Week or the XRS Late Model show!! Lots and lots of family groups with youngsters that hopefully had a great time and the kids had a great time and want to come back and grow into becoming young race fans to eventually keep the sport going. Also as Moreland said, $15...dirt cheap entrance price!! Wait until next week, at the Howard County 4H Fair, parking alone likely $10 lmfao. Thank you O'connor's for a very affordable gate price!!

Next the actual races. Very good Sprint car count and great racing. Reece did a great job on the track as always especially with the heat humidity and wind. Not sure what happened to JG when he dipped off into the pits but after that Robert Ballou was flat hauling the mail!!!! Pretty well ran away with it although Mitchell Moles was giving it all he had. Some others that ran well was Scotty Weir, Harley Burns, Brayden Fox, Zack Pretorius, and some others. Congratulations and great win Robert!! Great interview as well mentioning The Legendary DoubleD!! Also saying JG is the modern day DoubleD when it comes to Kokomo. Best part of the interview was RB thanking the fans and crowd and how the crowd was huge bc it was not televised...even the drivers know the crowds are getting small bc of streaming...lmfao yet some still refuse to accept the problem.

Onto the Modifieds...arguably the best Mod race in Kokomo Speedway history!! After the first couple of cautions it was full throttle outstanding racing, sometimes going 3 and 4 wide into the turns, with 1st time ever Feature winner Bradley Jameson in the 757 winning by his nose over Todd Sherman!! What an awesome race!! Nice car count for the Mods too!!

Onto the Thunder Cars. Not as many as I expected but 17 still a good number. Made for some competitive racing, especially in the Feature with the 105 of Sheldon Oberle taking the checkers and win while behind him there was lots of action and passing!!

Then Onto to the Fireworks...wow what an outstanding display of Fireworks!! Best I have seen this year anywhere!! One heck of a job!!

Overall one of the best races and atmospheres I've been to in a long long time, especially for a Regular Show!! Thank you to the teams, drivers, fans, employees/track workers for an outstanding night!! Thank you to so many fans who supported The Kokomo Speedway and The O'connor Family!! Happy Independence Day to all!!
