    Looking like a 39 kind of night barring a catastrophic event. May have a new king of the long races? Rocket cars started off dominant but the stiffer longhorn and bloomquist chassis look strong as the track rubbers up. Tires could become an issue. Moran Richards TMac top 3 after the 40 lap fuel stop.

    (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word). Devin had them covered and had a flat lr and Tmac with a flat rf tire with around 20 to go. Track is choo choo rubbered up on the bottom. Im sure more tire problems to come. RTJ with the lead for next restart. Could become a battle of attrition.

        Flat tire cautions are becoming just as much annoying as having to throw a caution for Billy Bob who's back in 20th a lap down who keeps spinning out.

            Lucas Oil Racing TV just completely botched that finish!

                I applaud PPMS for only running 2 classes and keeping the show moving. But the track started streaking by lap 20 and was all but done by fuel stop at lap 40. Track crew or management missed it big time

                  Worst Pittsburgh 100 ive seen in many years. Im curious if RTJ could have passed any cars as good as he looked? Bummer for Devin but glad to see RTJ get it done.

                      How did it suck. Thornton won from 14th, Richards drove back thru after pit stop. EPJ was a plus 13 on positions. Fail to see your logic of the race sucking. Heck, Flinner went from 24th to 4th . Passing all over the place. Did it suck because you favorite driver didn't win????

                        A lot of that advancement was because of attrition and not good racing. Only 2 cars made the entire distance on their original tires. Was better to have issues early and move up when others went pitside. Reminded me of some of the old Pittsburghers that were day time races.

                          The track started out fine. After the fuel stop, it was locked down, the racing and passing was minimal at best. Clanton went from 2nd to 8th on the last lap because a tire was bald and going down.

                          Why or how does rush always get on a card as a second class at these big paying races ? To many cars on a track that really isn't maintained as well as it should be and it went to garbage. Glad to see RT win, the purse for this race needs reworked, 20K to win then it drops off to 2K for second place. That's a joke.

                            It was $10,000 for second.

                              Really? It was a green, white and checker finish. The flagman was waving the white flag when it should have been the checker. Everybody was confused on that. They were telling him on the radio it was the final lap. Everybody was scored for 100 laps. It was rather confusing yes, not sure how LORTV and the announcer dropped the ball on this however.
