That #0 looked like he had never even drove a late model before, what in the world was that all about.

[champion24]

Did that mod go deep into the woods?! That's strange

[plunks7]

10:15 pm on a Wednesday and still running another mod B main before the late model B main. Yikes. When will some of these tracks ever learn? Butler's biggest show in a while and they completely drop the ball.

Place has always been a joke. Go look and see what happen the last time they had a LM race. I said when the SN schedule came out. UMP must've been desperate for a track and let Butler have a date.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Late Model consi next

Now taking intermission at 10:25 PM

This track should never host the SN again

[chathamracefan]

Nights like this make one think the summer nats could be scaled back a bit. They are eastern time correct? Nothing like rolling out the support class as the first feature at 10:40 on a weeknight.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Modified feature on the track.

[Bigdirtfan]

Thats how the show is always ran at butler. Im still amazed they got a date on the summernats to begin with.

[NeedforLMspeed]

A few times it's been shut down by the EPA because the oil in the ground from wayyy back was seeping through. The fuel tank also blew up there one night and killed a track employee

[HoosierDirtFan]

Will Krup wins modified feature

[racincowboy02]

What happened to Hoffman in the mod race i see where he is 21st. Im assuming since the 2nd and 3rd place guys in points aren't there he took the starting spot made the green flag and then pulled off done for the night to save his equipment

The summernats don't need to be scaled back. They simply need to stop running shows on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nights.

I do agree 100%, they should scale back on which tracks they visit. Give a few tracks two events on the schedule or back to back nights.

24 races in 35 days at say 18 different tracks is still a Hell Tour imho.

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

I like how HoosierDirtFan is doing results simply because he noticed all the praise Shiny is getting... clout chaser 101 lol

Refer to Commandment #6 in one of your previous posts. You nailed that one.

Thanks HDF for the updates. Anyone who takes the time to give updates is very much appreciated by me. When I can't make it to the track, updates are always welcome. Thanks.
