That was a great race for the lead. Once again another perfect racing surface put on by the Tri-State gang. The Hunter deal was unfortunate but the fact is the top lane basically stopped and Kyle Wissmiller had nowhere to go. Kyle's driving style is not even close to dirty so I don't know what you are talking about. If slide jobs are dirty than there are 36 other drivers that are guilty of it.

First off, thanks to Trent Hetser for getting me some lineup info, after the drivers meeting. It made doing updates a hell of a lot easier. And John for putting the info up on the board.

The track was great (as usual) and so was the race. Especially the last four laps. With two to go, you really had no idea who was going to win. Faas, Levi and Windom all had a shot. For a lot of the race Levi and Windom just went at it tooth and nail. IMO, it was the best battle of the night. And BC was flying. If he hadn't lost his battle with the cushion, maybe nobody would have had anything for him.

I'm thankful that Nic Faas made it out East to race, this year. This early in the season, he's already hit pay dirt once and has been right in the thick of things several other times, with a chance to win. And he, Levi, Windom, BC and Fitzpatrick waged quite a war tonight, all racing each other cleanly. Great night at the races. Especially when you consider these guys had over four inches of rain in the last day, to overcome.

Jerry

Hunter got a flat RR tire on the drop of the green and they didn't wait or give him time to change it.

Absolutely amazing....................Tri-State outdoes itself again............. Congrats to Walker and Levi...

Congrats Levi and everybody else who finished the night with a complete racecar. Hope BC is ok.
That was the crapiest start you could of had. the guy in the 15 ran over hunter before they even got in to the corner. i could not tell weather hunter had just a flat or not. but that was bull and if it was just a flat they should of let him change the tire and get back out there even if he tagged the tail. they should have never let that be the start of the race it should not have been 1lap scored it should of been 0laps scored and a complete resart. but what do i know
