Everyone loves a first time winner and Spenser  drove a good race. I realize there was threat of rain but I hate to see dusty conditions where visability can be dangerous.Once again the draw for fast pass dash was crucial. Schatz passed a lot of cars utilizing the middle and lower grove.Doubt many tear offs were used. Great field cars and much respect for Brad Doty who was one of the best and also an example of what can happen in open wheel racing.Remember Superman had a paralizing accident while riding a horse.

Dash draw wasn't that crucial, as Bayston started outside pole of dash but didn't start on the front row of the A main. Courtney and Shark racing getting together changed the race. Bayston was great in clean air but obviously there was a ton of passing throughout the field. 

I agree it was Courtney and Logan racing hard that helped  Spencer get lead.But his excitement was the best part. The top All Stars are right there with the WOO regulars.Most passes but not all are slide jobs and repasses cutting under. Nothing compares with short track racing for exciting close racing.

The top all stars are nowhere near the top Woo on a regular basis, but last night they were fast. They have more laps at Attica and that helped. Bayston ran 7 races with the Woo in the 11 before last night and he had one top 10.

That 11 seems to be pretty fast when it's not trying to block everything that is moving.

I'm starting to become a Schatz fan..... impressed with his run thru the field

Now its "anybody but Sweet" for me....

By the way, what engine is McFadden running?

I went to the race last night and everything was great from my perspective. Really was not dusty at all actually being at the track as i did not even where glasses or goggle, and I did not have any dust on my shirt after the event but not sure how it looked on camera. Show ran quickly and it was a good thing because before 10:30 and maybe before then the track got a huge downpour. My son and I were actually in line to get Bayston's autograph when the sky opened up and we headed for the car. Racing was good to me although I think it probably would have been even better had the race went green and the leaders were able to race in lap traffic more. I think there would have been a 4 car battle for the lead but in clear track Spencer was just a little better. My son is a big Sweet fan, and the first race I took him to was an All Star race at Attica where Bayston won in 2017 so it was kind of neat seeing his favorite driver finish that high and the winner of the first race he attended winning at the same track sitting in the same spot.

"Tangled up" is one way to put. Driving into and taking out the leader (Courtney) is another. I believe the 26 was also in the top 3 when he got "tangled up" with  some outlaws. Give me the all-stars any day.

Should note that it takes a lot more dust to make the visiondangerous for drivers than what fans deem bad. I've been to races with really bad dust, much worse than Attica last night, then talked to the drivers after and they said they had zero issue seeing.

I'm not sure they even touched

Looked to me like there was contact. Schuchart "fed him a right rear", as they say... & I'm a Schuchart fan

I have no way of knowing if it was intentional... both going for the same lane & Logan was more aggressive. "Racing deal"?
