Fred Rahmer leads the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass points at both speedway. Missing one race at either track would put him in jeopardy of losing the points lead. Rahmer, Brian Montieth, Chad Layton and Doug Esh, all of whom rank in the top four in Lincoln Speedway points, attended the Grove.
"You can't fault Williams Grove Speedway and you can't fault Lincoln Speedway," Rahmer said. "The tracks did what they needed to do and so did the drivers.
"I don't think Justin had a choice in the matter. He needs to stay afloat financially. We have few shows that are immensely profitable these days and the WoO races can be one of them. I felt bad for Justin, the fans and even myself."

The truth of the matter is Williams Grove got the crowd most people thought they would get ahead of time, going up against the other speedways with rain in the forecast with a high ticket price WoO show. And since it wasn't a big surprise, the prudent business decision next time might be to cancel as soon as possible when the Outlaws are concerned?
