[rickybrown1952]

Hasn't rained here all day. Should be good to go tonight.Thanks wishing we were there

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Thanks wishing we were there49 lates, not sure on mods.

Richards, JD, Bloomer, and Landers are group A. I think Richards and JD are same heat, think Bloomer might be in a different heat, but it's close. Depends how many they start in a heat.

[dirtdobber45]

Thanx for any and all updates

[MI Dirt Fan]

Someone posted on the Atomic FB page "hopefully Bloomer doesn't stop at the casino on the way and miss time trials like he did last time"

4 with 10 cars and 1 with 9???

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Someone posted on the Atomic FB page "hopefully Bloomer doesn't stop at the casino on the way and miss time trials like he did last time"His dumba$$ is in Group A, so I think he's there this time. He is, last one to pull in.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

4 with 10 cars and 1 with 9???Said six heats on DoD. So heat three should be JD, Richards, TMac, and Satterlee;). Bloomer missed that sob by one or two cars.

[Highside Hustler25]

BShepp fast time

[chupp n bloomer fan]

BShepp fast timeAnd Madden right with him. Picked Shirley as my wildcard in the poll, hoping this isn't a sign I shoulda took Madden.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Anyone know how many mods are there?

[old fan]

yeah they said he got there just as the drivers meeting was called

[george w]

What was the deal with Lanigan/moran ?? Anyone see it??

[Highside Hustler25]

What was the deal with Lanigan/moran ?? Anyone see it??

A veteran schoolin a youngster maybe?

[MI Dirt Fan]

A veteran schoolin a youngster maybe?

Isn't that how you sell chassis? Show'em what they can do lol

[pickersparadise]

going to be a stacked b-main!!!!

[george w]

How many provisionals ?

[george w]

How many provisionals ?

I guess it depends on who needs em lol

[old fan]

Probably.lolGonna lay down a large chunk on the Zero to win:Dthat's nice

[chupp n bloomer fan]

What was the deal with Lanigan/moran ?? Anyone see it??Sounds interesting. Have to see it on DoD. Devin did beat him at Flo, maybe he's still butthurt over that.

[george w]

Who knows but im impatiently waiting for the video myself lol

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Who knows but im impatiently waiting for the video myself lolLol. Same here.

[zyoung25]

From my view it looked Lanigan turned down on him, butthey had made contact a couple laps before. Maybe Lanigan thought the first contact was done on purpose, but it wasn't.

That 5th heat was awesome. Owens absolutely drove the sack off of his car. Never seen him get up on the wheel like that before.

[MI Dirt Fan]

I'm wondering if Bloomer is gonna load up, leave and pull in late tomorrow.

[george w]

I'm a little surprised there wasn't a ppv ? Or was there? I didn't see anything on one

[dirtdobber45]

That 5th heat was awesome. Owens absolutely drove the sack off of his car. Never seen him get up on the wheel like that before.Good for Jimmy...its about time

That 5th heat was awesome. Owens absolutely drove the sack off of his car. Never seen him get up on the wheel like that before.Lanigan sure didn't cut Devin any slack, but it's kinda what Devin did when he passed him in 1n2. That really looked like a racing deal. Track was pretty good too. With the rain, and cooler temps, I hope it holds up. But Fridays track looked pretty darn good.

Owens looked like the Owens of old there, mad props to him, fine job.

Was Nick just off?

[Snake X3]

The first big money race of the season. Rigsby, Shelton and Essex covering the race. Wins by Francis and Owens in the heats. Most of the top drivers in the country competing. This is what I love about DLM racing.

[zyoung25]

Moran had gotten into the wall a lil when he got into Darrell there, it was hard to see there, but you can see the spoiler got messed up from it. I think Devin turned down trying to get off the wall and it made it look like he took Darrell down the track. Lanigan doesn't know that from the seat though.

We just didn't qualify good at all.

[Highside Hustler25]

Sounds interesting. Have to see it on DoD. Devin did beat him at Flo, maybe he's still butthurt over that.

Guess Lanigan didn't want to discuss it with Ben afterwards. For a guy that loves the camera:rolleyes:I figured He'd have something to say:D

[george w]

I thought it was a little odd he was the ONLY heat winner to not do a post race interview..

[Bob Hubbard]

Guess Lanigan didn't want to discuss it with Ben afterwards. For a guy that loves the camera:rolleyes:I figured He'd have something to say:D

It was a good battle till that happened .....If passing points were awarded the 99 would have won ....Gilpin got lucky there wasnt anothe lap or two .....LOL

[Ben Shelton]

Lanigan headed back home - only 2 hours away - right after his heat so that's why I didn't get him. Also went to interview Delmas about his great run but he was gone too. I think everybody was capitalizing on getting done early. In fact I barely caught Scott because he was about to leave as well.

[gorj]

Did Bloomer take his car to tech inspection?

- Benthanks for the clarification an the continued hard work you put in!!!!

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Did Bloomer take his car to tech inspection?No, they give him a free pass.

[TackyTracker]

some great heat action... WOW

going to be a great race tonight

[ptown]

Yes it was some good racing, it's a shame they are doing the Lucas 2 day show ripoff with just 44 cars. Last week Fairbury had 48 late models and 3 other classes and we're done by 10:30.

I'd have went tonight probably if it wasn't that format. Didn't have to work today, but I don't like the old school format.

[zyoung25]

Did Bloomer take his car to tech inspection?

His car was the last to go through. He went through tech right before the qualifier hit the track.

[zyoung25]

It's 49 cars, and with the weather that had been in the forecast this week, I didn't figure thy would break 50. Up until yesterday there was a 70% chance to wet. It did rain here this morning, but not enough to hurt anything I don't think.

I'm not crazy about the old 2 day format either. I don't think that hurt the car count any. There isn't a car here that isn't a quality car. Id much rather see 49 really good cars, than I would 49 good cars, and 15 other cars that aren't ready to be here yet.

[gorj]

His car was the last to go through. He went through tech right before the qualifier hit the track.

Just curious, thanks.

Should be a great 75 lapper tonight.

[Joey05]

If any is headed to the race still if u see a white ford truck with a flat tire stop in help them out its my parents Iam stuck at work and they were headed to the race I don't want them to miss the race they need help they don't have a jack or spare tire I would b grateful they are broke down on state route 32 about a hour away from the track thanks

[MI Dirt Fan]

Bmain 1 Wells Casebolt Satterlee

Bmain 2 Zeigler Moran Robinson

[george w]

Landers/McCreadie are the provisionals then?

[zyoung25]

Satterlee wins the non qualifier race. Took the money and is going home.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Bloomer wins!!! That new car is dialed in

[zyoung25]

Shep, madden, and bloomer had a really good race the first 30 laps.

They néed to BShep in a sprinter. He manhandled that cushion that for many many laps before something let go under the hood. It wasn't the engine, looked like a radiator.

[zyoung25]

Next year.....5k to win on Thursday and Friday nights each. Saturday will be it's own show for 50k to win. Format will be announced later in the year.

[Bubstr]

B Shep went up in smoke, 3 laps to go

This race just went on my 2017 race schedule.

Are camping spots reserved or first come basis?

[Josh Bayko]

Next year.....5k to win on Thursday and Friday nights each. Saturday will be it's own show for 50k to win. Format will be announced later in the year.

Three day formats with complete shows each night are catching on like wildfire at big shows. Nothing wrong with that. Makes for great weekends for fans and racers.

[Highside Hustler25]

The results have shown that the fans support the 2 or 3 day shows with complete events. Good to see the Series give the fans what they want.

I personally have noticed how much better the crowd is at the Firecracker with the three complete shows it is now than it was as the standard heats night one, feature night two. I think it clicked the year the April WoO race rained out and was rescheduled the night before the Firecracker. The very next year it went to the tree day format.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Yes this race is on my 2017 list. Good racing! Bshepp hasd a great run going till trouble.

[edavis71]

Maybe it is on here and I didn't see it but was wondering what was the complete payout from first to last.
