Huge congratulations to Chase Stockon and his family and his car owners. Feel good win all the way around!

Bam! While Seavey won Burg convincingly. The racing for the least with Ballou and Bacon passing each other for the lead 8 times in five laps, The rest got taken out in some freakshow crash down the front straight.

That was Baddass Terre Haute. Wish I could have been there.
To he driver who said "I hope it slicks up"

NOBODY wants a slick dusty THAT. Other than him.

Congrats Moose Racing.

One of the greatest sprint car races I’ve ever seen! It’s one thing to run that close on a quarter mile, but to do it at twice the speed on a half mile with the cars lurching around makes it the most exciting form of racing on the planet.
Thanks to the fairboard, USAC, competitors and big group of fans that made it all happen. Indiana Sprint Week is so AWESOME!!!!!

Thanks also to Ballou and Dorset and others for the guardrails and reshape.

There was a time I just thought they'd run out of racers willing to run the place. 32s a good field.

That is why non wing sprint car racing is much better than wing racing especially on a full half mile racetrack. Being from Pennsylvania I have seen many wing races at Williams Grove, Port Royal, and Selinsgrove, most of the time the majority of the cars are up banging the boards or all running hugging the bottom. Last night the drivers were all over the place looking for ways to improve their position. The head on shot of the cars coming the front stretch showed how much movement was going on and it was outstanding action. Kind of reminded me of USAC shows at the Reading Fairgrounds back in the day. I have had the opportunity to see a few USAC sprint and Siver Crown shows in person at THAT and enjoyed every one of them. I wished I would have been there last night.

All the tracks have been excellent. Wide and multi grooved. From mid 90s heat and thunderstorms to low 80s and sun

Good Job.
