      When Longhorns sweep the podium you know the track was slick and the race was boring AF.

        Sounds like Rocketshepp gave the Longhorns a good run with the Rocket, especially early in the race.

          I will give a tip of the hat to Lernerville for track prep. With 0% chance of rain all weekend they did keep the track in decent shape. Dodging thunderstorms is usually the norm for Firecracker weekend. They probably slung more water this weekend than they have all year.

            Good point although the feature last night was a bit late.

              Overton and BShepp raced for position for about 50 laps, til Overton finally took the spot. I’m sure they both used their stuff up a little while TMac was cruising out front. Overton still almost got him at the end though. Another lap or two and the 76 is probably in victory lane. He’s won a bunch of them that way.

                Too bad Chris Madden wasn’t there but I’m glad he was able to spend a weekend with his family

                  The Overton/Sheppard battle was the highlight of the event.

                    Thornton made a mid race charge to 6th that was also pretty fun to watch. The fact that the super and crate race were both lead wire to wire didnt pass me though.

                      That's what happens with these terrible formats. Especially with the dash for the crates. The more you filter and sort the cars by speed, the less passing there is going to be. But these drivers don't want to have to pass anybody anymore.

                        A lapped car (Eckert) raced Overton a lot harder than a lapped car should. That gave TMac a pretty big cushion that Overton had to make back up. If you’re not fast enough to race for the lead, don’t hinder the drivers that are fast enough.

                            I can see racing the leader hard to keep from going a lap down, but TMac had already gone by Eckert. Eckert wasn’t racing anybody for position, if he lets Overton and Marler go by, it doesn’t effect him at all.

                                Out of curiosity, how many people can Lernerville hold? It looked like a massive crowd.
