Some drivers are pulling out of the feature. So far Donny Schatz is pulling out to save the equipment for the Nationals. rumours are there will be more. Most are probably not using top motors with Tatnell getting quick time tonight. Hell, IRA guys are quicker than Tatnell.
I tell it like I see it.

Although I realize it wasn't a requirement to race the complete show, but you can't tell me that TSR doesn't have the funding to put together another car should Mr. Schatz have a misfortunate incident. This is the same BS that ruined the Race of States and the Mystery features years ago. If you come to race, race otherwise leave it loaded.........By the way, I sure hope Mr. Schatz doesn't have a motor misfortune that could have showed up tonight rather than his qualifying night...

next year they should just let Cappy determine the lineup of the dash. Give him the mic and have him explain why he chose each starting spot.

I don't see anything wrong with that idea.........other than if Schatz didn't get the front row, he'd probably load up anyway....

Do you think that Shatz was using his National's motor?

I would guess that if he was using his "Nationals car", I would have to believe he had had his best bullet in also.....

If I were to guess, I would bet that the best bullet was sitting in a cabinet in the trailer while an older workhorse motor helped shake down the car for his qualifying night.

I don't aim to please.
I aim to hit the target.

The battle from 3rd to 10th was awesome from the start to the last corner of the race.

Great field of cars regardless of any drop outs for whatever reason. Good call also to tear the track up some before the feature. It would have gone rubber down in a few laps if not. Very nice to see one of our locals take the win. He did a great job holding off Shaffer when they got to traffic. Good win for a great young racer.

I dug an old Bronson Maeschen shirt out of the back of the closet and wore it to knoxville tonight. Bronson did an awesome job. I love it when one of our local boys whip the "big dogs". I think I'll wear that shirt again Saturday!
