Awesome show put on by the World of Outlaws last night. They had some excellent racing throughout the program with some very high quality competition. Crowd was really good for a mid-week event. Larson put on a show in every race he was in, especially the dash. Bad luck when lapping Bill Rose took away a great chance to win, but Kaeding and Shane Stewart had reeled him in so he definitely wasn't a lock for the win. Great race by Kaeding and Stewart, who were both strong all night. A-hole move of the night goes to a charter member of the A-hole hall of fame - Sammy Swindell. Brandon Wimmer beats him for the last transfer spot in the first heat, so Sammy spins him into the wall in turn 2 after the finish. Wimmer had to go to a backup car and start at the tail of the feature. Karma came back to bite Sammy though as he pulled off before the start of the last chance race and had no provisionals to use to get in the show. Few were sympathetic. Job well done by the Outlaws, SLS promotions, and the staff of Kokomo Speedway.

There has to be a non-wing diehard that thought last night's race was boring and follow the leader. Come on we wanna hear from you.

One of the best wing shows I've ever seen. Hats off to the track crew for fixing the fence not once, but twice in a timely fashion! I will definitely be going back.

I would love to see or hear of someone smashing his face after a move like what you explained here.....He is the grand champion member of the A-hole hall of fame in my opinion... I don't like his kid either! I wish they would take each other out at the chili bowl next year.

What I saw was right as he was running into him, so I didn't catch what led to it. Maybe someone can post a video. I certainly could be wrong, but it looked intentional. Johnny Gibson explained what he saw as it happened and said it was not a very professional move.

Johnny apologized this morning on his site for what he said, you may be right as the only one that really knows is Brandon and Sammy.

Brandon posted on Twitter last night that his car broke and took him into Sammy.

Johnny also apoligized last night after finding out that Wimmer had actually broke. JG is one of the best in the business and calls it like he sees it and is man enough to apoligize when wrong. Nothing wrong with that.

My bad then. Went off of what I saw and what Johnny said. I guess that's what I get for not following social media or going to the pits to ask what happened myself. Johnny is indeed one of the best ever, and a good guy. Apologies to Sammy. I'll take my place in that a-hole hall of fame too.
