    The zero should just retire in shame. You know since he's always known to show his hand in the first half of the race and blow his load early .... you can't count the zero out until he's in the pits, a lap down or the race is over ... period

      Saturday heats was good all the way til the feature should've gave it a little tear up and water while introductions was going on...night it rained should've ran it in more for the heats...Thursday wasn't to bad...all in all not bad but I told my buddy no water before feature it will rubber up with 30 to go...it rubbered up with 30 to go and ran the bart Hartman line when it rubbered up then
      after hot laps I'll pick the winner

        There was a few drivers that may of had a chance if circumstances where just a little different. Satterly, Overton, Bloomquist , McDowel and Simpson. This is how it turned out and I'm sure JD fans didn't think it was ho hum. Next race and new circumstances.

          Seen better, seen worse

          All in all, pretty good show. I do agree with birky time that there was a bit of rubber going down late in the race, but still pretty good.

          IMO, track prep at Eldora has become about trying to make it dry slick from top to bottom. They almost had it Saturday, but like birky time, I think Thursday would've been a bit better. A lot of guys challenged by the tire rule too.......which I believe is a good thing.

          Great crowd, great energy...........no doubt about that.

          Go18!!

            Why doesn't Eldora work on the track surface during the race program like all other tracks are now doing?
            I think they had it just the way they wanted it. With everybody on same rubber this is what you get.

                            What difference does it make? I watch race cars, not the track.

                              3 and 4 turns cut down equal less speed.
