First off I want to say watching any kind of sprint car at Eldora is always exciting to me and even more so as the cushion gets higher. Haudenschild himself a lot of times will be worth the price of admission as close to the wall as he gets.

When the track still has a lot of moisture that's typical of the WoO heats and I think you have to somewhat expect that when you go. From the dash on though I thought they put on a pretty decent show. The A Main was more about Stewart being on a rail than whether there were wings or not. Unless its restrictor pate cup racing, I've yet to see the kind of car where they were immune from a guy stinking up the show because he had such a great car. The racing behind Stewart I thought was pretty good and even watching Stewart work traffic was great. He put a big slider in thee and four on three cars to to seal the win with Saldana fairly close behind.

I was there last night and watched a great race!! Leaving at 9:30 is also a big plus for me. Congrats to Larson, Marks racing.

Just in case some weren't aware...The winning car is owned by Larson/Marks Racing...that would be Kyle Larson.

To paraphrase a former Supreme Court Justice. I may not know what is a good race, but I know it when I see it.

At least you that were there got to see a race..the cool weather could have caused some issues..other tracks canceled because of it..I went to Bloomington for the KISS race and the crowd wasnt bad..but should have been a lot more ppl..The speed of sprint cars wing or non wing around eldora is incredible..sure they get spread out but I still like going there. Hopefully night 2 goes well for everyone going there..

Gravel did win. Feature was good. Gravel and Pittman fighting for the lead and even Randy Hannigan running with them. Not bad for a fairly slick track
