Jac Haudenchild was quick time. Jac spun out on his first lap of qualifying and had to be pushed off again to do the second lap.

Ryan Smith tore up a nice looking race car in Heat 2 action. Ryan rode up and over a large inside track marker tire coming out of turn 2 flipping hard... He was OK but it ended his night...

Lance Dewease started in the middle of the field for the A-main & no one could touch him. Lance said in an after race interview that the track took rubber and locked down about a third of the way through the feature. He rode around at about 3/4 throttle the last 5 laps so the right rear wouldn't blow....

Dewease, Kreitz & Brown team is amazing! :)

On to Mansfield!

I think it's amazing with the age of DB sr. how you have the all stars there with many having a better starting spot than Dewease. Yet, he still gets it done when the bigger races are on the line.

Agree 100% about the driver interview. He is a tremdenous talent and I do root for him, but he always has to get a DIG in whether it is about a track, conditions or another driver etc. Lance put on a clinic and DD has nothing to complain about. Lance simpley outdrove him last night.

     What part of Pennsylvania is Kemenah from?

Let's not overlook the fact that he kicked the butts of the rest of the Posse drivers also! Hand that trophy to Davey Brown Sr. It was pretty evident that the 69K was capable of doing things the rest of the field couldn't do. Like forward bite......maintain a straight line....put the power down and out horsepower/torque the rest of the field.  Just shows what the best of the past can still do, when Davey Sr teams up with an experienced driver like Lance. Who today has seen more change in sprint cars and sprint car racing hands on than Davey Brown Sr?  I'd say probably nobody. So much for most of today's talent when facing a combination like that. That and throw in the dificulty of a proper set up that is fitting of Williams Grove. Only a handful of talented mechanics and drivers over the years have been able to come in and conquer the place. It's not so much beating other drivers there as it is beating the track and configuration. And of course yeh, over the years there have been local drivers there that have conquered it, also. 

I just watched the video highlights and who would not be impressed by Lance and Brown.    That thing just launches off the bottom!!

Posse Sweep The Top 3

Lance was really impressive last night. I can’t remember seeing a guy come from that far back using multiple lanes to get it done. Usually when someone passes that many cars at the grove it’s usually because everybody is running the top and that guy finds the bottom. Last night lance was running everywhere and could seemingly pass at will. 

From 13th? WOW.... wish I could have been there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83M10EJ1Vog

Easy for you to accuse. So why didn't any other drivers protest????

Far, far.....far............far West?

Top 4.

Too Bad Schatz wasnt there he could have started 14th beside Lance and race would have been which one got to the front first.

Any one could see after five laps the only car going straight and forward wasthe 69k. 

 “Actually, I didn’t even know I was leading it,” Dewease said. “When I got by Danny and got by [Zearfoss], I didn’t know who was leading. I was just trying to get past every car I got to as quick as possible.

“They gave me the five to go signal, and I’m like, ‘Shit, I’m leading this thing.’ Then, I had to slow down, because I knew there wasn’t much on these tires.”

If his ego could win races, he'd win 30+ a year. Can't take a thing away from his talent. He's one of the best there is right now. I used to be a fan but just about every time he opens his mouth or hits the send key on his phone anymore, it's something of the same nature as what we heard last night. Get over it dude. You got beat by the fastest car in PA. He earned it. Quit acting like a spoiled kid. 

Any videos of the interview?

Oh, for the love of God, here we go again!

I personally like the kid's ambition; he has the drive of a race horse chasing a never-before-hit fresh piece of mare ass.  To a certain extent, ambition can come off as ego/cockiness/arrogance and is actually good for the sport as it helps at times to sell tickets and put fans in the seats.  It can also be overbearing when it's the same thing over and over again.  Double D is like the proverbial double edged sword. Lol.  Not defending him, but he is still young.  Give him time....time will be the true test and will tell.
