That is correct, but they do have direct deposit now so guys can get their pay quicker. Also sometimes during stretches of races USAC will give them a check for the first couple of races in the middle of the week atleast they have done that during sprint week.

Dick the track was about perfect for them. USAC had 9 cars under the track record. There were a lot of wheel stands coming out of turn 4 the fans I was around were going nuts with what they were seeing. They also set a new 8 and 12 lap record. It would have been a perfect night of racing if the weather would have been a non factor.

I thought Dave would have gained points on Brady Bacon but he didn't. Weird.

He did gain 1 point...Dave was fast qualifier and got 6 points, Brady was second quick and got 5 points...they both were 4th in their heat so they each got 5 points for that. Brady had a 25 point lead after Grandview Tuesday night and now his lead is 24 points.
