I'll just agree with what's been said about Bloomington Sprintweek, Kokomo Sprintweek, Sumar Classic, Hunter from-the-back, Gas City Midget Week (both divisons, Lawrenceburg Midget Week (both divisions), Four Crown Midgets, Friday of Gold Crown, and Friday of Ovals.
I'll add these:
2 TNT races - Greenwood & Creek County. CC is about a fifth-mile and got rained on before hot laps....which gave us a super-tacky little bullring that made for a great race. Bacon gets Ballou late for the win.
Sun Prairie midgets - Levi rolls by Hines and Darland on the cushion for the win on a late restart.
But the best race I saw all year was that midget race at the Four Crown. The heavyweight battle between Yeley and Darland was great. You can just see by watching how bad they wanted it. So it was a great race even before Stenhouse decided to spoil their fun by running in true Eldora style - he never left the wall and blasted right by those two. Then he checked out. Even after Kuhn broke in front of him and he went to the tail, Stenhouse was putting on a show, right up to the point when he clipped the backstretch wall and flipped about as hard as I've ever seen into turn three. It was like Stenhouse crammed all the reasons I love to watch him race into one night....what an unbelievable show!
