On behalf of the Talladega Short Track, and a personal thank you from me, a huge thank you to all who made this event a double rousing success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A huge thank you to all the fans who came out in super strong numbers, the weather was ideal and you filled up the joint.
A big thank you to the 334 race teams that packed, crammed, and overflowed our very large pits, some even parked in some of the gulleys! All the teams came to the lanes when called and raced your keysters off. Big appreciation to the crew members and fans who swarmed the pits like I haven't seen in ages, what a back gate!!!
You great fans and racers worked our concession staff over hard all three days especially Sunday as you cleaned us out late in the day. We were well-prepared for this event but it was epic concession sales. Our guys and gals worked so hard, the runners were just rippin' busy too. Thank you for supporting us in absolute unreal numbers, heck, even I pitched in at times.
To our unsung track workers conducting the race, from the parking folks, pit and spectator gates, staging, infield, and race control, what a effort. Some may not realize what a endeavor an event of this size requires.
For example, besides tech and such, on Friday alone we had 82! 82 hot lap sessions!!
On Saturday we hot lapped 310 cars, Timed in 101 Late Models in 2 divisions, then ran 34 heats races.
On Sunday we ran 17 B-mains, then 7 features and 1 Non-Qualifier events.
Thanks to my fellow announcers, Wesley Outland from the USCS Series, Ross Tingle from Magnolia Motor Speedway, and Ladon Law, we sure had a lot to call.
One last atta-boy to all the out-of-state fans who came out and attended. Cars were parked on both sides of Speedway Blvd. as far as the eye can see.
Thanks again for making this Ice Bowl a out-of-the-park success!!
