First lets start with the actual race. It was pretty good. Cautions hit right at the point when it was getting boring. I give ARCA a nod they put on a good show. Now to the finish. Dakota A. and Tom Hessert desserve a big pat on the back. Both of those guys got up on the wheel after the last caution. It almost seemed as if they were the only 2 trying to steel the victory. Tom got to much of a push and it looked like the guy behind lifted his rear tires off of the ground sending him to the back. Going into the final corners it was Tom and Dakota. Dakota had everything go right and brought home the victory. Both did a heck of a job, and made the end of that race VERY exciting. patrick Sheltra is another short track guy that had a great run finishing 2nd. 2 years ago I watch him win a late model feature at Union County Speedway. Hopefully the win will get some sponsors on the side of that 22. Great job guys!

Sitting in the Tri Oval Tower at Talladega, I was thrilled to see young Mr. Armstrong take it to victory lane. I was also proud to let a number of NASCAR folks sitting around us know that he came from open wheel racing. So many people were asking "who this kid was and where did he come from". A shout out to Hessert and Sheltra as well in driving the wheels off.
