Did anyone watch this or go to?

Got home from local track around 1030. The feature for the xtreme outlaw didn't start till midnight.

They had to have a major delay or something

I switched over after the WoO race and they had double screen going. Coles Co track work on lower right and interviews from the WoO race upper left. That was a little after 11 Central time. Figured the feature was about to go. Then they brought out both B mains for the Outlaw Wing cars ( had 42 ). Those 2 races took it to close to midnight. Lots of cars running into each other and spin outs. They had 4 classes in total. Was thinking about going today, but I'm not in the mood for getting back home after 2:30AM. Interested in seeing what time they get done tonight. I'd like to go there someday.

Eat dirt, be happy 🇺🇸

According to social media, the A-main's last year pushed off around midnight. It is a shame because this killed any interest I had in attending this event as a special show.

They are the Kings of Delay. Long ass show. Too many Classes. 0015 start for feature. I am 0-2 for running a long show. Did not go Sat. for that reason.

I've never been to Coles but stuff like this prevents people from going to tracks. If you live 90 minutes to 2 hours away and you know the feature for the race you really wanna see doesn't start till 1130 or midnight you're likely not going to spend the money to go

Anybody know what happened in the restricted race? There was a wreck and after turning the camera away they suddenly canceled the rest of the races.

From Facebook:
"Bella Coleman update
During last night’s WFO Micro Series restricted feature at Coles County Speedway, driver Bella Coleman was involved in a racing incident that required immediate medical attention. Bella was transported to Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center, where she underwent a full evaluation. We are relieved to share that all scans and tests came back negative. Bella was treated and released early this morning. She is sore but in good spirits and plans to rest and recover before returning to the track.
The Coleman family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the entire racing community for the outpouring of support, including the many calls and messages received throughout the night and into today.
Special thanks go to the Coles County Speedway rescue team, who executed a safe and efficient extraction of Bella from her car. Their professionalism and calm under pressure ensured Bella could be transported quickly and safely.
Over the offseason, the Coles County Speedway safety team—comprising EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters—completed certification through the POWRi Trackside Safety Training Program. Their training was put to the test this weekend during multiple incidents, and they rose to the occasion each time. We are immensely proud of their dedication and preparedness.
On behalf of the entire Coles County Speedway staff, we send our best wishes to Bella for a full and speedy recovery. We look forward to welcoming her back to the track very soon."
