Dave isn't that old, he's 10 years younger than the King and look at how much he still wins.

I'm not for sure. He was in the toughest heat (Darland finished 4th) and had to get in through the B. About 3/4 of the way through the race he was up to 9th, so he ended up passing a lot of cars. The race up front was just do damn great it was tough to keep track of those a few spots back.

That was just a hell of a race!! Burdette took off and led the first third or so, till he lost his lead to Gulick. But Coleman had to dig hard for several laps to wrestle the lead away from Brett. He didn't go down without a fight. All the while, Shane Cottle was running both high and low and reeled both of them in, while Parker and Memmer were doing battle right behind them. Then, after Shane grabbed the lead from Coleman, those two were reeled in by Dave, who was just on the top, with the hammer down. Now, what those three did, for what seemed like about ten laps was just incredible!! All over each other for the entire lap, while racing each other clean and hard. Shane looked like he would be the one to emerge, but bounced off the cushion a couple of times and dropped back several spots. Then DD seized control and never looked back. Gullick finished second and Memmer a respectable third. He was never a threat to lead, but just hung in there and battled the entire race. As always, when Dave comes home to LPS and wins, the crowd went nuts. It was a real popular win.
The track had endured a lot of racing, between tuesday night and tonight and after the B Mains were over, it looked like the surface might be a challenging one to race on. It had taken a decent amount of rubber in turn one, for example. But, after the green flew these guys were just able to race all over the place. Some diving for the tires, getting real good bite coming out and others just crashing into that cushion with reckless abandon and rocketing off the top of those turns. Appearances were just totally wrong. This was one of the best races I've seen so far this year. But it was only the second best I've seen at this track in 2011.
