Car count is sure lacking a lot.

Full results are posted above. Congrats to Chris Madden on his 22nd career Southern Nationals victory!

Wow 13 cars. Really hope more show up at the gap.

Low car counts across the southeast. Obama's death grip on the rest of all things American is underway, better be ready to group together and put a stop to this raping of the American economy! While he kills the economy he uses the racism smoke screen to hide what's really going on! Anyone in racing that voted for these clowns you got your hope and change alright!

Don't just blame one side. Dems and Rep. are both to blame..........

**slick01** · 07-15-2013, 10:38 PM

Yep, that's it....the politicians set out to kill dirt late model racing. Once again it is everybody else's fault and we are the victim. How could it be the DLM world's fault? Anyone who hasn't seen this coming for years is in denial.

if they kill the economy so goes racing you can't race on love I know I tried it lmao

**slick01** · 07-15-2013, 11:48 PM

So did I, and subsequently decided that working on someone else's race car was far cheaper. The root cause for the cost of racing is blamed on all the wrong angles.

**Winston_Wolfe** · 07-16-2013, 07:13 AM

While the cost of racing has obviously risen, so has the cost of a lot of things. I think the Obama Economy (i.e. Great Recession) is mostly to blame. Policies like Obamacare have destroyed small business and have been a direct cause of the chronically high unemployment we now see. The Republicans share in the blame in that they did not offer viable candidates in either of the last two elections. However, the Democrats have been in charge of the Senate since 2006 and the White House since 2009 and have famously wrecked our economy with their Socialist agenda and out of control spending. They need to "own" this fiasco.

Because most race teams are largely funded by small business and because the largest demographic of working class race fans who support our sport are out of work or underemployed, it stands to reason that fewer can afford to race or attend races.

I find it sad that some of my friends who are most hurt by the current Democratic policies are those who vote Democrat because they are "the party of the little guy" -- when in fact, they are the party of "staying in power at all cost". If Obamacare is so great and so necessary, why delay it even for a day?!? Also, why do I have to pay a penalty (i.e. tax) for not buying something that is good for me? I think we all know the answer to those questions. Wake up and vote as many out as you can in November.

Obamacare is about healthcare which everyone has now, yes everyone. Now all they have to do is go to the emergency to be treated. No one is turned away. It has always existed..................

**johnE** · 07-16-2013, 05:49 PM

Abuse of the emergency room is the top issue that Massachusetts' RomneyCare & America's Obamacare hope to stop in order to lower costs.

US Stock Markets are at an all time high, more Americans are employed than at any time in history, home values will soon reach pre-recession levels, things look pretty good to me!

Let's talk racing, not politics. I was at Wythe last night. Madden was not just "bad fast", he was "wicked fast". I don't recall ever seeing a car more hooked up in my life and I am 67 years old. There weren't too many cars there but there were very good cars. Davenport, Dillon, and Ogle were very good. If it hadn't have been for Madden, Davenport would have run away from the field. He went from 4th to 2nd on the front straightaway on the first lap. Nobody had anything for Madden though. It was fun to see a car that hooked up.

**johnE** · 07-16-2013, 08:17 PM

Madden was like that at Cherokee for the Lucas race last month, which he won without much challenge. I'm a fan of his and hate he has had illegal tires 3 times in the last 2 years. Now every time I see him that hooked up I have to think "tires."

He is on a recent hot streak of wins & is very strong at all these Southern Nats tracks. I wish Marlar was on the tour, Davenport should hang in there in the points battle, but I think Madden wins it again as long as he avoids a DNF.

He was so hooked up at that Lucas Oil race that his back tires followed in the tracks of his front tires all thru the turns. Very little tire wear.

And I have to give a shout to Clements House of Power! Madden recently switched from Cornett.
