I went to GC last night thinking I wasn't going to be able to see a race due to forecast for the weekend, Seen a good show there and I waited today till 4pm before making the decision to head to the Burg.
I get there at 4:45 not a bunch of fans hanging out, No big line at the gate to get in as usual and I was only expecting maybe 15 cars in the sprints. Later a decent crowd turned out but it was down a bit Im sure due to weather.
THE SHOW WAS GREAT, Yeah Joss won from the pole but it sure as heck wasn't easy. Taylor driving the Hery 40 was just smoking fast, Drove under Moffatt on lap 13 for the lead and was negated by a yellow. On the subsequent restart, Taylor drove around him on the outside once again for the lead. Joss learned from both and it didn't happen again although Taylor made several runs on Joss. The track was so fast they started lapping on lap ten and were lapping again on lap 22-25 after the lap 14 restart Many nights that don't happen at least till late even if its mostly green.
Joss took the win, Followed by Taylor and Burdette who stated mid pack and was very fast but could not make up the ground lost while he was gaining positions.
Ted Hines as i've said for over a year is just amazing on the Burg got fourth but it wasn't easy as Cowboy Hupp was playin KT jr and cowboying that car from deep in the pack and running above the cushion and him and Hines must have passed each other ten times.
Nicely won the Mod feature over Hamilton and Kincaid.
Street Stock feature was won under a blanket and the Hornets had a photo finish.
Gotta give dibs to the Rudisels on the Harf, Darf, Sparc and well represented BARC night. Left the cooler in the car and bought a lot of concessions tonight. Thanks!
Track had hole up in three and never took rubber all night, Im sure had we had any sun at all, It wouldn't have been so stinking fast but all and all, Great track and probably fastest of the year.
Joss Moffatt told me he wanted nothing more than to win on the New Burg and its the hardest track other than maybe Eldora he's raced to win on, Its just that tough! YOU DID IT MAN! AND HAD THE MOST PEOPLE STANDING AND CHEERING COMING ACROSS THE LINE that I've seen since Cottles Midget week win at Gas City! Congrats to You, Angel and your Dad!


I thought the days were over of seeing a body tossed about the cockpit, Race's flip was one of the scariest ive seen in a few years, I really thought he might be hurt bad and Im still uncertain that he's 100% I felt a bit better when they didn't call Air Care and took their time deciding and notifying the team before driving him to the Hospital to get the once over. PLEASE UPDATE US How he's doing as soon as someone knows, Like I've said before, There'd be nobody I'd want more to be at my crash than the LBurg Safety Team, I heard a lot of compliments tonight vs the usual Hurry up calls. As Gregg said, His arms were flailing and helmet bouncing around, SCARY! Hope to never see that again.
Sprint feature pushed off at 8:30, Entire show done at 10, Im sure as HELL glad I went. See you next week!
