How do you go from perfect track conditions 2 straight nights to a one lane rough as sh** track for your biggest race of the year.

Congrats to the #32 team on the win

I was too busy at Eldora to collect coal, iron ore, or gold from the Earth.

Starting two hours before sundown will do it every time. Track dried out quickly during hot laps and the B features. Yes they farmed the track before the main but can't do a thorough job in 30-45 minutes even with the equipment they have. Turned out to be an entertaining race any way but track conditions were very different from the first two nights.

Well you know what Larry Moore said if it's to rough there is always asphalt but your rite got to wait till sun gets down.

So they blow it on the big night. Two out of three ain't bad. Bet the bobby brigade ain't complaining or they would be had the track been like the nights prior. Not much lift of the bobby mobile after that one lol.

Drop outs and double file restarts played a big part. :) When you start beside the car you trail on a restart and get the jump of them on the restart, that is not passing them.

As we sat in the motorhome at the camp grounds and saw the amount and intensity of the rain you would be thanking the track crew for a job well done! At 10:00AM there were a grader 2 John deer tractors and a small tractor, they worked the track all day. God I am sick of people ragging, why don't you stay home from now on. Or better yet put your money where your mouth is and build your own race track.

Watching pierce, Richards, and davenport all get on board the "follow me to the front" train was a hell of a show for at least 50 laps. All 3 had different distinct ways of passing people and it was fun watching those 3 work up through the field together. Like any race they did get a few spots to attrition, but they all passed way more cars racing than they were "given". There was plenty of racing worth watching all over from 2ND on back pretty much the whole race

Most of the time a race track a little rough is real racy most of these people complaining ain't never been to a bad race track.

Track conditions were different from the first two nights, not bad, just different. For that matter night one and two were different. Thursday they tilled the top grove in the corners to make it more racey. Friday don't recall that they touched it at all. The last night the entire track was tilled. LOS puts as much effort into fan experience as anyone.

The track on Friday night was perfect, action all over the track! with all the bad weather they had, gotta give them credit to get the show in.
