Tommie Estes was the race director last night. It was cool to see Levi along with promoters Derek LeMaster and Nick Knepper, plus Steve Knepper & Mike Hess working in the infield last night. Something a little different for all of them, but they got in the groove and did a good job on crash clean-up, etc.

Not throwing the red for flips helped a lot!

As great as the show was, I hate to complain about anything last night. But if you're going to go with such a complex format, please think about doing a better job of explaining it to the fans. I know a lot of folks were confused as to why the high point earners were inverted for the qualifiers. Why not use that big jumbotron on the south end to help the announcer explain the point formula and format?

If you follow Ross Weece on Twitter go there and see the video clip he posted of Stenouse climbing the wall on the backstretch last night. Awesome stuff!

First of all, I have to say hats off to Levi Jones, Nick and Derek and the entire USAC staff and all the workers for putting on such a great show last night!!
It was great to be able to visit with some of the racing family, take photos and watch some great racing !!! If you was not at Duquoin last night, you missed some really good racing! I don't think they could have put on a better show.
How about the finish?!?! Wow!!!!
Thanks again everyone for a great night!
Hope to see yal at the races soon

We wondered the same thing. It was a late night.

Just wanted to add our two cents. Enjoyed the show very much. The feature was great!! The charges from the rear by Thomas and Stenhouse were money's worth! The pass for the lead was awesome. Two things we would like to see improved upon for next year would be a better explanation of the passing points procedure and maybe using the board down in turn one to give updates on the current passing point standings (did enjoy the old videos of the indoor shows from the past at other ventures but after five or six times that was enough). The second thing would be to start the show at least an hour earlier as the majority of the fans, drivers and owners are from Indiana and that makes for a long and late ride home if they want to be back that same evening. That was not just a good indoor show, that was a good show period!
