Something happened to Gustin on the final lap.
He hit the wall and faded all the way to the back.
I didn't see what happened.

You do a great job SSU....

Thanks Shiny.

The modified feature was a barn burner.

Something has happened to Tri City over the last few years. Maybe more to do with late model setups than the track but for some reason late models just can’t run side by side there any more. It always seems to go one lane around the bottom. Just like last night. Look at how the mods raced after the LM feature. They were all over the place. More often than not, the late model feature is going to be a sleeper.

[Highside Hustler25]

I agree CILDirt. The top at TC disappeared some time ago.
