A couple things right and a couple wrong. Madsen won and Jac didn't make it.
Huge crowd but how many? Only Eldora knows. Beautiful night and over at midnight. I thought the track held up very well and there was no big dust problem. Winged sprints at Eldora are absolutely awesome to me with the speed and the motors wound up. Hardly any cautions all night in either class. Had a fuel stop with two laps to go after Shane Stewart ran out. Madsen had to hate to see that as he was kicking tail but he drove away again and he was definitely the car to beat. Congrats to Kerry!! Steve and Sammy just couldn't get it going but Kevin Swindell tried all night to take the concrete off the wall and ran an exciting 4th. Bell looked good in the Foxco car.

They capped sales on the Nascar race at 30,000 last year I believe. I would say there was more than that after seeing pics. I believe thats the number of seats they have is 30g
On a side note 50/50 winner walked away with 36k!!! Friday night's winner got 15k!!! Unbelievable crowd great racing had an awesome first experience for the kings! Congrats Kerry!
