Lucas Oil Late Models Cars at the Pittsburgher today

[bleedblue55]

The race lasted 1 hr. 13 min. and O'neal ran his car hard all night and somehow made it. There were only 2 cautions after lap 90, Davenport ran out sitting on the backstretch during the lap 93 caution for Richards. I thought fuel might be a issue for lots of the lead lap cars after that but it didn't happen even with the last lap caution.

I didn’t see Bloomquist listed in the heat race results. Anyone have any reason why? Was there an error on Lucas or did he not run a heat?

[Josh Bayko]

Bloomer didn’t run the heat because he blew the rear in qualifying. Swapped the rear during the heats and ran his B.

I see 49 was whining to Lucas to add a fuel stop next year. If they add a fuel stop next year just run it 50 laps and make it the Pittsburgher 50 and write the check. I seen many cars that did not run out of gas. Man up!

There were a ton of cautions, so I could see where fuel was maybe an issue for that singular race. It’s not like that just years. I’ve seen Steve Baker go the whole distance on methanol. IIRC, that race that year was caution free, but still.

They already jacked up Knoxville because a few ran out. I don't understand why we always bend the rules to aid the cars in becoming something different.

Davenport heard Moyer was thinking about retiring so he's auditioning for "director of whining" these past couple of months.

Make a rule that allows a fuel stop if a certain amount of cautions occur. If that set number of cautions do not happen, no need for a stop.

Lucas has been running great shows lately. Their shows are run more efficiently than anyone else's and the supers always run first. It makes it much easier to decide to travel several hours to their shows when you know you'll be getting home at a decent hour. They must have actually listened to the fans (and Dirt on Dirt) about the lack of efficiency at a lot of shows across the country. Keep it up!

Big engines in cars with unlimited grip burn a lot more fuel than a few caution laps do. But at some point, it certainly adds to the fuel burn.

For the record, Mark Richards agreed with him.
Call it what you want, I guess...

Oh then it should be fixed the god of DLM racing agreed with him. Suck it up and move on its apart of racing, I didn't see a whole lot of others run out.

Yea, it happened...I do agree. Just some misfortune.
Get ready for the this weekend.
