Owens was blazing fast. He looked awesome. He was lapping pole sitter Payton Looney (who finished 9th) as the race ended.
Dennis Erb was pretty quick running the bottom, his car was getting a heck of a launch off the corners. He stayed 0.5 - 1 second behind Owens most of the way, until he had trouble getting around two lapped cars near the end. Really hated to then see Dennis lose the 2nd spot due to a raceiever caution call uncertainty.
I know the Mag is famous for its black ice, but last night’s speeds on a hammer down track were entertaining to see. Owens was turning laps quicker than Scott Bloomquist’s 1 lap track record. Sure do appreciate the Mag for sticking out the rain and getting the show in. A nice, quick show with two classes.
The DoD studio show is enjoyable. The rain delay Skype interviews with drivers were an added bonus. Interesting to hear that Moyer was a scratch for asthma-related reasons, and then hear Junior basically shoot that theory down when asked.
Hope Billy Franklin is alright today. Pretty fierce rollover.

Talked to Billy Franklin about 2 a.m. this morning and he said his ankle was pretty banged up and his thumb got bent back, but was ok other than that. I'm sure he's sore today. That was a nasty ride.
On another note, THANK YOU to everyone who supported our show. It was less than idea conditions with the rain delay and a one-day show getting spread over parts of three days. However, most everyone was really patient and we greatly appreciate that.
Last but not least thanks to my good friend Michael Rigsby for working with me to make the event possible. The event was created from scratch in three and a half days. With no fans allowed, we couldn't have financially held the event without support from Dirt On Dirt and Flo Racing.
Hopefully we are getting closer to having more fans at more tracks.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks for giving us a race to watch Ben. On a side note, this is going to be Jimmy Owens year IMO.

Also glad to see Rigsby sharing my dislike of the all too common and over used 4 wide. Let's retire 4 wide ASAP.Originally posted by Ben Shelton View PostLast but not least thanks to my good friend Michael Rigsby for working with me to make the event possible.
