    No dirt car sanction in that area for late models so not much of any base of cars to work with. Some that might run are at Lucas Oil race.

    Gotta figure weather didn't help this at all. On top of that you have 3 other big races going on.

    One of the late models is a crate car driven by an 11 year old. Hope he can stay out of the way. But that's a pretty big challenge for any 11 year old.

    Yikes. Bummer for all involved. Feel bad for promoter and fans that spent money.

    Credit for finishing, some promoters would have drug it out in order to cancel.

    2 heat races and a rain shortened feature.
    Carpenter obviously changed his mind on running full your, and Babb didn't show either.
    Hell Tour isn't the same anymore.

    Do they count all the races for LM towards points? They only count your 8 best nights for the mods.
    2020 race count:
    1/2 of an event

    You could be right, but the car counts the last few years haven't been what they used to be either. I think there was only 5 or so guys planning on running the whole thing and that was only if they were doing well enough to continue. I think there are just way more options for drivers today than there used to be. Not to mention, the purses have not increased......

    They'll prolly fall to the kung flu before long.
