Watching the Eldora truck race and I think this is the best surface they have had in the four year history.  Agree?  Lots of passing already in the heats and LCQ--last to first in the LCQ?  That's pretty damned good. I think the feature will be pretty wild. 

The only thing that sucks is listening to the clowns that broadcast Nascar.  I would rather attend a Barry Manilow concert than listen to these clowns.  

Go Kyle!

Millions of asphalt fans are thinking who is this Greg Wilson that can run the bottom at Eldora? Haha nice to see what Kyles mind is on.... Sprint cars! I think it will come down to Bell or Larson. Decent racing and ya I think it's the best surface yet.  Lots of yellows Though. Makes me wish they didn't have fenders and went faster. Aka sprints haha

I don't think he got screwed.  He didn't have enough time to come back any farther than 10th.  If it would have happened with 50 to go?  Maybe.  Lets not forget he couldn't get it out of 4th gear--which means his pit stop was probably dead in the water anyways?  And, he hit the wall in the first place taking down the tire. All of his problems were his own and no one else did anything to him.  

That being said, the kid can drive. He was going to win that race if he doesn't screw himself by pounding the wall.

How exactly did Pierce get screwed?? NASCAR didn't bust his transmission and they sure didn't make him pull that suicide slide job that ended his night.....

41 MPH average  Man if I knew it was going to be that good I would have gone.


Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3 
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?

An old male nurse that was friends with my dad used to say racers should see how slow they can go instead of how fast as it would save a lot of money and be much safer.  We used to laugh but apparently he was on to something.

Apparently, I must have a simple mind.  I found the racing fantastic and I couldn't care less about the speed. 

So, by your logic, sprint cars are boring as well correct?...............I mean, nitro funny cars reach speeds in excess of 300 mph.  So, if I can go to an NHRA event and see that, who wants to watch a sprint car buzz by at 140?   Come to think of it, why go to an NHRA event when I can go to an airshow and see a fighter jet buzz by at 1500 mph?  Actually, I did a little research and comets travel at 28-298 miles/second!!!!  I think I will skip the races and sit out at night and watch that spectacle!!!!  Save me a ton of money!! 

Getting the point yet.  The race was great.  Why complain about being able to watch a race at Eldora on national TV on a Wednesday night?

I thought the racing was great last night.  To see larson come back from a lap down only to win it was great.  Best podium finish 1,2,3  Larson, Bell, Abreu.

Agreed.  Faster usually means smaller fields and less passing.  Give me a car with more horsepower and less grip... and you'll find out who can drive.

Why do you have to be an asshole? The people posting on this topic obviously enjoyed the race so why do you feel the need to interject and post negative shit? Seriously dude. It's pretty easy, if you don't like it, don't watch it. I wasn't particularly entertained by the last few so I didn't watch this one and I'm sure as hell not going to come in here and tell the people that did watch it and did enjoy it that they shouldn't have. Do you like anything or are you just miserable? As much as you bitch and whine about there not being any "Fords" in sprint car racing and likewise talk about "Fords" doing well in late model racing, I'd think this would be right up your alley. There were plenty of "Fords" racing last night.

The race time was effected by 3 madatory yellows to break the race into segments.

To sit on the computer and try and say they ran slow is bad jugment on your part.

They were on the gas banging the cusion bell dam near tor the front strech down the last 5 laps trying to get to Larson.

Loved the whole heat races , semi , and main cut up.

Lets not forget thet they have mandatory yellow every 20 mins in this division either, so races avg. is junked.

Put all NASCAR divisions on the dirt 1 time a year
