I thought the Buffalo Wild Wings car was basically a WoO full time or damned near full timer in the series, they are just a little fussy about who drives it. Paul McMahan did a great job and got canned last year I think it was. Between the BWW car and Dennis Roth---who is the most demanding on results, a toss up.   6500 seats?  At least 6500 seats plus all the people sitting in the corners in their trucks or in chairs they brought. He did have a big lead when the tire went and if the track had not been very very dry slick, he would have gotten beat.  A 360 sprinter could have won that race, power didn't help.  My first time there and what a great place, has to be one of the nices dirt tracks in the country when you add in the seating, track, just thewhole atmosphere--very impressed.   Night before in Grand Forks at River Cities they had a packed house as usual.

The BWW 82 has only ran a handful of WoO races this year. But they've been running all over the place, from Tucson, to Knoxville, to Huset's. And also, the team has been doing a "driver-by-committee" approach for the last couple years. Several times this year, a driver has been in it for a weekend, and a different driver for the next weekend. That's just their method. However, they are extremely demanding on getting publicity and results. Example: Bryan Clauson in a winged car. Doesn't happen often, and he took to it quite quickly. They've given drivers without other rides (Cap Henry) a chance to drive. They've given guys who don't race much (Kevin Swindell) a chance to drive. They bring guys halfway across the country (Roger Crockett) and give them a chance to drive. They also give guys with permanent rides (Sam Hafertepe Jr.) the chance to drive. What they are doing for sprint car racing is actually a good thing. I like their style. And they have now shown that they are a threat to win as soon as they roll through the pit gate no matter who is sitting behind the wheel for them.
