Nobody raves about great Haubstadt races when they see one, more than I do. Last night was a pretty good race, as far as races in general go, but it was not one of those Haubstadt Classics that I've seen so many of. Once Daron got to the lead, nobody came close to challenging him. And then after his motor finally went, nobody was a real threat to Jeff or was Brady seriously challenged for second. Or once Messeraul avoided Hunter for the last time, was he really challenged for the third spot. So, I don't really disagree with Kirk, here. It was a good race, but not a great one. Not at the home of Instant Classic, any way.

Now that's not to say that nothing exciting happened during the feature. Watching Messeraul and Hunter ricochet off of the walls for 50 laps was fun. T-Mez, at one point, even driving on the wall, in turn 2. Wondering if Hud Cone was going to break the record for consecutive laps in a sprint car, while on fire, was interesting. And Levi did nip Hunter at the line, on the last lap.
