Greg Hodnett overcomes Lincoln Speedway struggles, crushes World of Outlaws field for $10,000 score

All triple X podium!

Oh man, Cubes must be going through a crisis with this. The Posse hold serve at Lincoln but all XXX chassis? Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

Seems XXX have done something that no one thought possible.  Shut Cubic the f up.  With total domination of his (recently) beloved Outlaws comes silence.  I guess all that's left in his BS arsenal will be that no Late Model drivers race XXX.

Look at the bright side...the Outlaws had one hellacious race going on with Lucas for positions 4-5-6  throughout the race last night at Lincoln.

move of the night: Sides out of provisionals, loads up and relocates the hauler to a better vantage point to watch from the upper deck of his rig.

who did the least with the most? dollansky transformed his driving style into a tribute to the New Jersey Nightmare (who is only running Port this year) and messed himself.

Speaking of Port...your boys did well with (3) in the top 10, looking forward to a great suasage sandwich on my next visit:

China rules globally and locally. This makes things complicated though. Is the state of PA what you're going to pee your pants over or the country of China?  I'm thankful I'm not involved in such a dilema.  Does Beer Hill have a Chinese flag ready?  Now that would be awesome.

in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?

Props to Hodnett. Quick qualifying, passed cars in his heat and got a fortunate dash draw to put him up front. Seems whoever started up front was going to stay there. 

I was wondering where the absurd Cubes post was this morning. I guess his hatred of triple X is worse than his hate for the Outlaws.

One thing that has become painfully obvious in PA Outlaw shows (no matter who wins) the dash draw is the most important moment of the evening. If the dash draw was 8, Stewart or Marks would have won; 6, Sweet would have won; 4, Ryan Smith.

It's nice to see an All Star in the top 3. 

draw importance is amplified where competition is closely matched...in parts unknown or 360 regions with rental 410 shipping lanes...not so much.

on any given saturday night at Lincoln, the top groove track would have received 4-5 passes of Mr. Mister to reinvigorate the entertainment value for the fans...but Iit appears mid week shows have a moratorium on excitement as even the crowd pleaser had to keep it under wraps.

Hodnett was clearly the fastest car all night long. He dominated everyone, cant argue with that. 

Agreed, not saying any different. However, clean air has to play a part in that. Wonder what he would've had if he started in Row 2 or 3. 

I just read where the World Racing Group has submitted a name change.  The new series will be called the World of PossLaws

Great for Hodnett he is a good racer and deserves to win, but the title of this Hodnett Decimates WOO, is pretty catchy but HILARIOUS

DECIMATES would be not starting on the  poll of the dash, and pass a car or 2 or perhaps actually have to race to decimate like start 3 to five rows back and Pass cars to Decimate. He who wins a race from the poll in my eyes.is  not a race. He who gets a hard charger or comes mid pack or from the back. Now that's a race!!!. No disrespect with Hodnett great driver. But it was not a race it was Luck of The Draw.

you need talent, equipment, setup and Luck! To be successful at racing

Chose the word decimates because he was the fastest car all night. He took off on restarts and was never challenged. Smith could barely stay within a half straightaway...and that was in traffic. 

That being said, I don't know if he comes from the third row. It was just one of those nights when the track was dirty. Must be why they are getting new clay.

So what would your opinion be if a driver was dominating sprint car racing using a ford motor but paired with a xxx chassis? Bet that would be ok. 

Look through your house and throw away anything with a "made in china" label or sticker and see what you have left.

Locals have been cleaning the Outlaws clock all across the country this year.

Of course the Posse is going to "decimate" them even with a Chinese handicap.

That's why XXX sponsors half our race teams in the first place. So they can get a few Outlaw wins.

 
 
 
They don't even know how to spell sprint car 
much less chromoly...http://www.ycmco.com

calling Ryan Smith an all-star is a bit of a stretch isn't it? especially after he claimed being posse in his post race interview. and you guys try saying the posse tries to claim everyone. lol

Yeah that's kinda the joke my man. 

Good to know you have internet privileges again Cubes. We missed you.

Of course your statement is completely untrue and you really should give the Posse more credit. Of the 6 drivers who have beaten the Outlaws this year, only Hodnett is really a local. The rest are National/regional touring drivers (Abreu, Bell, McCarl, Brown, TK) that were either outside their home base or simply visiting their home states on a schedule that will find them far away most days from their home area.
