I recall both Jones & Carter slapping the wall with their right rears almost every lap. Every time they came out of four, you heard SLAP SLAP in quick succession. One other entertaining item of that day. It had rained the previous night and there were puddles in the pits. Carter came in after hot laps way too fast, ran through a puddle, and splashed everyone in someone else's (Jones?) pit. The next time Carter came in, one of those guys tossed a bucket of dirty water right in his face. :-) |

The night (1995 ish) at Portsmouth, Ohio when Jack Hewwit thought he was running the cushion as Mark Cassella ran him down and passed him about 10 ft higher IN the cushion. Cassella rode outside Jacks rt. rear for so long that his complete car was covered in mud, there was absolutely no way to tell what color, number, ect was on the car. Mark was completely covered in mud, he used his last tear off just prior to the finish. When he pulled into victory lane he looked like "mud-man" with two wide open eyes.

my 2 cents... the first 4 crowns Steve Kinser started dead last in the sprint and champ car race and won them both in Vance's cars... hundreds of great sprint shows witnessed. last year the last race at gas city stands out for me. couldn't get to the burg in time for usac so we stopped at gas city. wow, close racing all night about 300 people in the stands, cold, 25% of the field got upside down and a 4 car battle to the end of the feature. Steve Ott won it.
