Ballou drove one heck of a race to win that one tonight. However I must say that is the best race I have seen Jon S. run since leaving the #53. He looked like the Stanbrough of old. Also great to see all the items on the auction and so many people bidding, hope alot of $$$ was raised for a Great cause. Bob Bressert

If it wasn't the best race I've seen this year, it ranks up there with the best. Sprint feature over before 11 p.m.

57 cars....

Congrats to the 5j of Joss Moffatt with an awesome run 16th to 5th

I guess I made a wise decision when I picked the Madman to win. Congrats Robert and Aero! :O::applaud:

You're right about that, Broc. This was a really great race and there were great "races within the race" breaking out all over the place in this one. But, Joss's run to the top 5 was one that I was definitely paying attention to. It was a hell of a run and showed how much skill this sometimes overlooked driver really has. Jon's run to the front was probably the highlight of the race, for most there. The battles with Ricky Willams (who was real force on this night), Hunter and Dave Darland along the way made the run look like it may have been a thing of destiny. They made for some great racing and yellow flags were a time to just catch your breath and sit back up in your seat straight, again. When Jon grabbed the lead, like most times that he gets the lead, it seemed like maybe the story had been written. But, hats off to Robert, for standing on the gas and taking back what was his. He was the man @ Lawrenceburg, last night.

What a way to end the race season! I would be highly shocked if I see anyone state they didn't get their $23 worth on this night.

Great night last night!!!!!! Track was perfect and the racing incredible!! How lucky can the #6 G&N racing team be? Todd Kane flipped it in the heat and put a slight reparable bend in the front axle. Then, he flips it in the C main and breaks a heim end on the tie rod. Basically no other damage. And yes!!! Moffat had a fantastic run!! Whenever you can honestly say the Darren Clayton was in your way, that's saying something!! Great job Joss and Bill!!!

When Jon grabbed the lead after the restart with seven to go, My dad said its over now! I said, Oh no it's not. THat's the Madman!

Robert lost his brakes sometime durring the race and just flat footted the final five laps blowing by Jon with two to go.

Lots of side by side racing and as I said before. The old track slicked off would have been huggy pole. This track they just keep finding more speed and different lines.

Chuck, congrats to all, glad everybodys safe and hope everyone got home safe.

What an awesome night to end the season on:thumb...Hunter's run to the front of his heat, the wild 4 car battle for the final transfer from the C, Short and Gaines getting after it for the final transfer from B-2...and best of all the 40 laps of good clean racing at the end of it all:applaud:.

Watching Gardner, Stanbrough, and Moffatt all carve their way to the front was wild :respect:.

Great way to end the season:checkered:

Congratulations to Robert Balough on his big win.

What I think is ironic is how this was supossed to be the Championship race for the MSCS series but didn't seem that any where even mentioned in the top 5 other than Balough who really doesn't run for the points. Kind of like last year. Does this matter or not?

I am just kind of wondering if there would be any difference if this was a MSCS sanctioned event or not?

I have thought that the last MSCS race of the season should be lined up for the feature by points rather that the regular format to reward all the drivers that have competed all year for MSCS points.

Do any of you think this would be a good idea or not?
