Looking forward to this one Shiny. I believe it was you that said Lincoln is one of the top 3 tracks in Illinois.

Let's hope I didn't jinx it.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

They have built brand new bathrooms since I was last here. Very nice.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

This place reminds me a lot of Fairbury. Maybe a little narrower and just a tad flatter.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Seen a Summer Nationals show there a few years back and the USAC National Midgets where on the card as well and if i remember correctly Kyle Larson was there as well. That was a good race to see. Shiny I think your correct in thinking it has some Fairbury characteristics. The track does race really well. Hope the same for tonight's action at Lincoln.

Unless they blade it off, their will be a dandy cushion.

Here is my one and only rant. I have had enough of Ruben. He just will not take a breath. He announces like he is talking on the radio as opposed to TV, streaming, where we can see what is happening. He just wears me out. Finally, I know racers need to have their sponsors names heard over the PA, but there needs to be a limit to the number that can be announced. Maybe I just need to have another beer but geez is it annoying.

But now we know about grooving and siping and how rubber gets warm.
So we got that going for us...which is nice.

Thanks Shiny

Thanks Shiny!

[Mod Runner]

What is this , did Sheppard just win 3 of the 4 features this week ? Pro-Power must build some healthy Ford engines.

How about giving credit where it's due. Brandom Sheppard is the man. The guy has been on a roll. It hasn't mattered if he pulls into the pits with the family car or team blue. He's just getting it done, and he seemingly is getting better and better.
