    At the end of the night it only matters who took the checker flag first and last night it was Bobby Pierce. Bobby did have a fast car last night and it took a lot of patience to sit behind Greg lap after lap waiting for him to slip up.

    The name on the check says Bobby Pierce, The name in the records book says Bobby Pierce!!

      A rubbered up race track eats tires quicker than any type of track out there. Plus you have to hit the groove lap after lap, one slip up, and ya lose several spots. Doesn't really sound that easy to me.

            I disagree Phil , give me something elbows up with a cushion and multiple grooves. I have never liked slick track racing and last night was the prime example why.

              Glad for Bobby and the whole DB team. Shame Tri-City locked down. Tracks reputation certainly isn’t that of a non prepped track. It does take talent to stay in the rubber. It takes talent, and all the drivers being patient with one another. And it is horrible to watch. Shame for the drivers and the fans.
              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                HMMMMM -- all the time. IMO only part of a track for the heats as well.

                    Many Lucas races l've been to over the years we're choo-choo train races. Anyway congrats to the DB team & Bobby.

                      Planning on making my first trip to tri city for the summernational race. I pray to God it’ll be better than what I just watched.

                        I wonder how much TV had to do with the lack of track prep. They probably wanted the feature done as early as possible.

                          Just my opinion but time shouldn't be the determining factor for track prep. They knew they had no chance of a good race without it, so in my view they didn't care about the paying customer.

                            Slick tracks are OK.... It's when they take rubber in one groove that sucks

                              Everytime Bobby wins the haters always have a reason why.... He can only win on the bottom...he can only win on the cushion... Bloomer wasn't there...track rubbered up...the excuses go on and on as to why he won... He has won enough races and more crown jewels than 3/4 of the drivers out there...how about just saying nice win for once?

                                Agreed. But if you keep jawing back, they know they are getting under your skin, so it will not stop.
