Just my thoughts and opinions on some things for those that didn't have the luxury of being there.

Brad Kuhn continues to be one of, if not, the most underrated midget driver in the country.

Steve Buckwalter continues to silently be very good at the Chili Bowl.

Kevin Swindell put on a hell of a drive and would of probably won, without the Stenhouse incident....which by the way was a pure racing deal. Stenhouse bounced up the track after hitting the berm coming out of 4, and Kevin actually came down the track a bit as well and go the worst of the deal.. He could of lifted and made his move 2 laps later.

A lot more people might appreciate Kevin's drives if it weren't for Daddy stepping in and fighting his fight twice on opening night. Not only did he walk out onto the track and flip off Stenhouse after the above incident, he also was seen arguing with whoever it was Kevin banged wheels with earlier in the evening. All the while, while kevin was back in his pits, where he should of been.

Casey Shuman had an amazing run in the qualifier race to win on the last lap and looked like the favorite in the A main, but struggled on the top and had to follow on the bottom.

For how bad the track condition was in the A, it was a great race to watch.

With the exception of Sammy running away from everyone, the race of Champions was great to watch. Tons of close racing and slide jobs and most of it without banging wheels. If not for the last 10 laps of the A main, definately was the best race of the night.
