I watched on DV & wish I could have been there!
Glad some of you Hoosier diehards enjoyed the Wingers... great race
I prefer the back stands myself... usually more room, higher & wider view
Too bad Larson didn't show up, would have had a realistic chance for double win. What a great ending that would have been for an incredible weird season! Same for Brady Bacon, surprised they weren't there....
Hopefully this pandemic will be over & I can get out there next summer
Just thinking out loud (aka too much coffee) but is there any chance Larson is staying away these last few races as an attempt to help his brother in law? I did see where he and Owen ran outlaw karts this weekend so maybe it’s more about time with his immediate family more than helping his extended.

I enjoyed both features, that was my first WOO event I’ve ever seen at kokomo and I enjoyed it. Now I know I’m gonna take some heat for this but I know Johnny Gibson is one of the most famous announcers but I found his attempts to shout over the cars on the track to be quite annoying. Anyone else or just me?

There is always room for one more in the corner! I'm disguised as a responsible adult!...

My 2 cents. It was a wonderful event! Congratulations to Bernie and his promotion team. As always the great Kokomo Speedway provides another great track to produce outstanding racing with a hard working friendly staff to go along with it. Just a couple things to note however. Things went right in a big way to contribute to the success of this race. First was a decent and accurate forecast. I might be wrong but I could swear they have been trying to run this, perhaps with other sanctions for a few years and have been beaten by the weather. Second, no competition. No Ohio tracks running, or almost none and no Indiana tracks either, made for an awesome car count. Is this race successful without all the planets aligning? I don’t know but I’m glad they did. I know this, all of the folks on here that hate wings would have an impossible task trying to discount the racing displayed at Kokomo Saturday night.
By the way Heath, I saw today that Kyle is running Late Model and Sprints in Charlotte weekend after this, so he might steal some of his brother in law’s thunder after all

I kinda agree with you but my thoughts are that the 88 car in NASCAR has no driver yet and the owner of that car doesn’t allow any of his drivers to do extra curricular activity, Jeff Gordon, Sprints and Midgets, Jimmy Johnson, Stadium Trucks! In my opinion and my opinion only, I believe that Larson will complete these last 2 races and then we’ll hear the announcement that Mr Hendrick has hired Larson to drive the 88 car and that will be the last that we see of Kyle on the dirt or any other kind of car. I hope I’m wrong BUT!!!
