Brady Bacon just won three straight ASCS Sprint Bandits races with, if I remember right, an $8500 engine that had seen something like 8 seasons of work. He was also utilizing a XXX Chassis, which is cheap. They used the same right-rear tire for all three wins and made very few changes to the car during the night.

Some of you guys need to go talk to the guys doing the racing. Sure, some guys are spending a lot of jack, but it doesn't take a huge budget to be competitive, especially in Indiana.

I would put the quality of racing I've seen this year up there with any I can remember. The fields are strong for the most part (some fields have been short for other reasons), and the competition is deep....if you're missing it, you better wake up and start hitting more races!!
