Update on Lucas Oil Race Tonight at Sharon Speedway in Ohio

[kidrock]

Whether or not the drivers agreed on it (which obviously they did), this has to be the most disappointing trend that is starting to happen with these big two national series. Deciding not to count points because the track sucks. Like 3 wide said, I am loosing interest in caring about points when they just pick and choose when they want to count the points. That isn't really fair to the fans who want to see their drivers run hard and not pull off the track to save their stuff because it is a non points race. Same thing down in Florida where they have the "Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series" banners hanging at the track but only make half of the events point races. I'm just not into it, but that's my opinion. I'm sure plenty will disagree.

Nope I agree with you, take the good with the bad.

I had a old guy tell me racing in the rough separates the men from the boyz. Some of the most entertaining races I have watched has been in the rough.

last year at Carolina speedway in North Carolina the WOO guys were leaving the ground with all Four wheels. Chub Frank started about 14th and finished second he said after the race he would take those track conditions over a smooth locked down track any day.

That's right most of the time the track is more racey and if this had been run 20 years ago nothing would have been said about it has got to the point were everything has to be just right.

I watched the video on DOD, I thought that was wildly entertaining. Not sure why the series wouldn't want to promote those highlights instead of the freight train races they obviously prefer. Sure it was a little rough and claimed some cars, but oh well.

[nuff said]

You can certainly tell which drivers care about entertaining the fans from the others

[Black F]

I'm guessing some alcohol is involved here

Some??? Lol, the guy is tanked

I agree with you kidrock it is absolutely rediculouis to have all these fans come and pay their money to watch a good lucus race and because the track becomes ruff at least half the drivers pull off are you kidding me right now cmon is this what DLM has gotten to some of these drivers need to get back to their roots and buck up and race

I don't blame them one bit for pulling off.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I don't blame them one bit for pulling off.

Nope. Sh!t is just so expensive now. At least most tried and didn't just pull in. It is disappointing, and if you don't wanna show to one of their races, that's your right.

I don't pay their bills and if I had the choice to pull off, still make some money, and have a car not completely trashed, I'd probably do it.

I mean, 7 outta 24, not exactly rocket science.

Once they made it a no points event, might as well park it on lap 1.

I see both sides and not scour witch on I am on.. but I know one thing it $ucks for the fan....

[Cardirt0]

I know one thing the track trying to make it better scour made it worse with the new Clay...

After watching the dod video, It didn't look terrible to me. I've seen a lot worse.

Some??? Lol, the guy is tanked

He needs to take his meds

[dirtdobber45]

I can see both sides. Drivers/owners want to keep costs down. Lucas helped Sharon save face. And it did suck for the fans. But what I dont understand why not just reschedule later in the year? They couldve put this race with the July races they have in OH
