[TheJet-09]

You'd think some of these guys would get better the more laps they turn. It's almost like they get worse...start driving over their heads.

I'm glad Blaze recovered to win/transfer.

Sucks for Dillard. I know what can happen when an aluminum driveshaft comes apart, but you gotta wonder about the recent failures (Pierce at Davenport and Dillard tonight) with what I assume were carbon fiber shafts.

Pierce still made it interesting. Kid uses every inch of a racetrack, that's for sure.

[Morgs153]

So far Ryan Unzicker is the car passing king of the Summer Nationals. Other than his win, which came from the front row, he has passed a whole bunch of cars to get into some good finish positions in every event. Hoping he gets another win because he's running very well.

[Raceready]

Great work ! ! Thank You !

[fryefan]

Cade Dillard had them covered before breaking late.

Congratulations to Tanner and his crew on the win.

[Highside Hustler25]

No doubt about it Morgs. Ryan's been consistently fast. Been in some tough heats. Luck of the draw. I'd expect him to get a few more wins if he keeps going.

[Highside Hustler25]

Heartbreak city for Dillard.

[RoadtoPennsboro]

Pretty cool to see Max racking up podium finishes at tracks he's never seen. He sure likes the bottom though.

[Billy_the_kid]

Pretty cool to see Max racking up podium finishes at tracks he's never seen. He sure likes the bottom though.He's turning a few heads that's for sure. Pretty impressive considering he's never been at these tracks!! Unzicker is another one who seems to be running up front too. I think that MB Customer fits him better than that Pierce car.

[Billy_the_kid]

Heartbreak city for Dillard.He sure had them covered. Heartbreak for sure. He's another cool guy.
