I went last night and had to drive home due to my son having school early Monday. It was a good experience seeing the cars at that track. It was neat to see how fast the cars could go around that place. I think they said the avg speed of Gravels lap was about 149mph and really they did not scrub off much speed in the corners. May lift slightly my from the sounds of it I'd say maybe a little over 150 is what they get to at the end of the straights.

I probably wouldn't go every year but would recommend everyone to see it at least once. While it is neat to see the speed, the racing part just didn't capture much for me. Had fun and it was a good event but probably something I would not circle my calendar every year for like Kings Royal or Knoxville



Watched on Dirt Vision and the hype and speed were there.Just the racing was high speed with little to no passing.Reutzel made a charge but was no match for Gravel after caution. Congrats to any winner but it seems many races are decided in the fast dash draw.Knoxville two weeks ago was a fun race to watch with Lil Haud winnig from deep.Last night was Browns to lose from the pole but appeared power plant expired which happens.17A is fast as was 11 and 83along with the 55.

If Logan doesn't bring out the yellow, the race would have been a lot more memorable.  I think we were setup for a 3 lap shootout there.  A-aron was going to pass Gravel in traffic.  Might have been a great finish.  But, David was too good in open air. 

Glad you guys had a great time!  Hope to see you in K-ville soon!

Yeah it is cool and the speeds are fast but the racing is poor at best. Well see how features go today but so far it's a bullet train.

Did I watch a different race? I thought the 3 car battle up front was fantastic.
