Was real cool to see all the guys from back in the day. The best part was them enjoying it.

Sounds like a blast, sorry I couldn't make it

No yellows or reds, race was over in 5:49 with Chris Windom picking up his fifth Kokomo win of the year. It is a pleasure to watch the national champion run at your local track on nearly a weekly basis. I wonder if 5:49 is a track 25 lap record. Robert Ballou was a very competitive second place, another recent USAC champion. Darland never got a ride. Kevin Thomas Jr. was 3rd, followed by CJ Leary, Justin Grant, Shane Cottle, Kyle Cummins, Isaac Chapple, Scotty Weir and Jarret Andretti in 10th. All the other cars were lapped.

I thought Isaac Chapple looked really good. He's gonna get a big win soon

Thanks to all of the drivers and fans that made this event an awesome time! We hope to make this an annual event!
