Surprised to read that last night was your first visit to LPS. It has always been one of my favorites.

Both the sprint and modified features were great races. Kyle Cummins jumped out right off the bat and was the frontrunner. He was up top, where guys with that last name like to be and was flying. The battle behind him, the one that would determine who his challenger would be, was where the show would be, on this night. After about three laps in, it became evident that the 12 car of Robert Ballou was going to be the field's chief predator. But he started on the outside of the 5th row, so if he was going to do so, he was going to have to whip his way through a swamp full of gators to even make it to the leader. It would be easy to track his progress however, since his car is now the color of a road construction sign. A color those of us who frequent I-70 a lot have become all to familiar with.
![]() Just when you thought that couldn't be topped, here came the modified feature. Derek Groomer led throughout the first three quarters of this race, but the entire time Brian Hayden was on him like white on rice. It was amazing how much pressure Hayden was putting on Groomer and was in command of his race car so much that he repeatedly came within inches of him, without touching him. He was above him, below him and a few inches behind him. Groomer eventually succumbed to the pressure, made a mistake and Hayden seized the lead. It was over after that. Groomer tried to battle back, but never really threatened Hayden for the lead. It was a fantastic race though. Hayden just flat outdrove one of the better modified drivers in the country. The crowd was once again stunned with what they had just saw! The other thing that was obvious, for the second year in a row, is how much the Putnamville fans come out in droves to support the MSCS. It was the biggest crowd he had all last year and it was a Sprint Week sized crowd, last night. They got their money's worth last night, so I bet they'll turn out big next year, too. Jerry

Yeah Ron, I know. Tough to get out of town that much while raising two kids. They are 16 (North High) and 20 (I.U.) now so it is going to be easier making road trips. Not quite retired yet , like some fortunate ones, but will be some day. Until then though, like I said LPS may replace some of my Bloomington trips!
