    Looks like quite the field. Hopefully the weather holds.

    Dale McDowell is the man. He didn't win, but he always moves forward, no matter the clean or dirty air in front of him.

    It appears that the race was yet another Longhorn stampede at the front of the herd ? I was expecting a better showing from the Rocket 1 team. I guess they are done riding the wave from that $20,000 race that they won due to a lucky tire selection?

    Huddy started 3rd- finished 6th.
    I was there ( and still am waiting to get out of parking lot)
    First in- last out)
    Place was jammed packed and standing room only is an understatement.

    My question is: who and why gave Busch and Briscoe provisionals?
    In my opinion-very bad business publicity for Track, Larson or Flo whoever made that call. Everyone else had to race their way in. 21 teams didn’t make the race and I would expect some hard feelings over this one.

    For those that remember: when the late models first went to Knoxville-Tony Stewart and a couple others were guaranteed starting spots because they were NASCAR. Eventually the teams and dr

    And drivers complained enough that they stopped doing it.
    This isn’t zlucsd oul, WOzo or any series that has points provisionals.
    So I guess someone guaranteed them to be in the race just because they are NASCAR drivers?
    I don’t think that’s right -so go ahead and bash me as you see fit.

    This is why I love Late Models. The racing was amazing. Kudos to Vic Hill for getting the show in and having a track that could produce such a great feature.

    That is common practice for this type of event.

    It may be interesting to see if there will be more NASKY boys showing up at dirt tracks depending on which direction the car owners boycott goes. . . I for one hope that major changes occur for the betterment of the sport.

    Don't forget, a Team Zero car took runner-up.

    Longhorns had 3 in the top 9 (I Believe?)... I have a hard time calling that a stampede.

    I’m assuming the entire crowd was on their feet for most of this race. I know my wife and I, and everyone around us, were. I’m sure it was awesome on TV, but I’m so glad we made the drive up from South Georgia to see this one live. We attended last year too, and had a great time, but that race tonight between Larson and Davenport was one for the ages. I couldn’t even tell you what happened behind them, because I was locked on that duel the whole time. What a thriller.

    Also, I’m perfectly fine with the Cup guys getting provisionals tonight, just as I was glad to see Byron get one last year. There’s no reason to change anything about this event. It’s been a huge success, so leave it as is.

    Bloomquist was in the Rocket1 pit all night.
    Rumors on the street have been that Mark is going to supply him a car for next weeks 100k race. Now that tonight’s race is over- the rumors are that Rocket1 isn’t coming back next week.
    Truth, fiction, lies, gossip- I guess we will just have to wait and see.
    Rocket1 wasted no time loading up and leaving very quickly after the race was completed.

    Do you think NASCAR will give Davenport an automatic provisional at Bristol just because he is a Dirt Late Model Drivrr?
