Just want to say that from a fan's perspective, and probably your fellow drivers, there is no disgrace in tagging the back if you can't run with the big dogs. We appreciate that driving a race car on dirt is not easy and that it requires seat time, more for some than others. If you're causing problems for other drivers, or starting on the front row, only to find yourself in fourth or fifth coming out of turn two, please, don't feel badly about moving your car to the back until such a time when you can more comfortably run up front.

I remember the year I ran Pro Stock on the 1/2 mile for the first time. Even thou I had raced for a few years just never could feel comfortable starting up front until the end of the year. BUT at the end of the year we had some success with the best finish being a top 3 on the last race. Then they shut it down.

Yes I agree lap cars as well on restarts, Being around racing for 40 some years behind the scenes or not sometimes you just have to pull some new or not drivers aside BY THEIR SELFS!! and let them know what needs to be done. It works real well if you do it rite they can listen to you rather tear your car up and as well as others, Then they probably have more problems than they ever wanted ! Then they wish they would have took your advice.

I heard he gets to start at the back for the rest of this season. Good news for the rest of the teams.
I feel bad for Marcus. He's out for the rest of the season unless he can come up with some quick cash.
Jeff Leep gets turned by the feature winner. His stuff gets torn up along with a bunch of others.
One lane heavy tracks suck Lanny!!!

I'm going to agree on all counts here. Especially how crappy the track was. I hate lock down race tracks. And I feel for Marcus too, I was looking forward to racing the old man.
