Looks like Levi and Coons put on a show judging from the lap leader stat.

This is an absolute true statement. The track prep was a self-induced disaster. And the track was still treacherous come feature time. Just ask Justin Grant, Robert Ballou (how he didn't flip in turn 1, I'll never know) and Jon Stanbrough, to name a few. But, luckily for the promoters Jerry Coons and Levi Jones just took what they gave them, took the gloves off and just slugged it out for the last 25 laps or so of this one. It ended up being a real classic! One that up until the last lap, you had no idea who was going to end up taking home the top prize. Thank you JCJ and Levi Jones, for saving the program tonight. And Dave Darland, too. What a run that was!

This race qualifies as an instant classic. Of course Mr. Water Truck Driver got a little silly but, folks in attendance will be talking about this one for awhile. Jones and Coons passed each other at least a dozen times. And DD's run from the back was nice. Back to the house by Midnite. Mr. Coons earned this one.

I got to the track about 2:30 or so and the inside half of the track was dry as a bone. They turned it into a mud bog, and we know how good they are at running in a track.
What we had today was a great example of totally incompetent track preparation and absolutely great racing from the best drivers in the country. How much longer are the drivers we all love to watch race going to be forced to run on dangerous, poorly prepared tracks. It is inconvenient and irritating for us fans, but dangerous for the drivers. I totally reject the argument that we should just be happy that some particular track is open, regardless of the condition of that track. Be thankful, be quiet, the apologists say. No thank you. I have not previously joined in the discussions of these problems, but tonight was just too much. What is it going to take to force an acknowledgment of these problems and action to be taken to solve them? What, if anything, are sanctioning bodies going to do? Our drivers deserve much, much better.
