Just curious how much were these races paying to win? Wish they could have gotten more than just 13 cars but I know it's a long haul down there.

I believe I heard them say over the PA system last night that it was $2,000; $1,300; $800; down to $300 for 10th. It was raining and the wind was blowing hard, but I think that is what I heard.

whats the weather doing down there?
You think they will get it in tonight?

Right now (1:24 local time) it is 72 and breezy. Should be no problem tonight at all. I started looking 15 days ago and the only question was always last night. Guess this shows how accurate a 15 day forecast can be. Should be a good evening.

From my kid at the track, 2:05 EST. Weather good no issues and 16 +/- sprint cars already there.

Chris Windom flat out had them covered tonight on what looked like a very difficult track to drive on. It would be interesting to hear some driver comments on the conditions. Nice job by Kyle Cummins also. As usual, the drivers put on a good show which certainly impressed the locals I was sitting near.
