68 Lucas Oil Late Models at Portsmouth tonight

[King1]

I don’t know why everyone keeps crying about this race. It happens every year.

Bardstown rubbered up, pennsboro rubbered up, atomic rubbered up, Portsmouth rubbers up, and if I’m not mistaken, Lawrenceburg did too.

I like to see a race decided by luck, but this happens just about every year for this event. Lucas needs to ditch it and do something else.

I've been to the DTWC at Portsmouth 4 times and love everything about the place, cool nip in the air this time of year makes the atmosphere very exciting, all the campers with the smell of food in the air reminds me of a big football game tailgating, great concession food, nice facility layout and decent parking..... right up until the racing starts....and it's all just a big waste. Haven't been for the last 3 years and won't go back, 5 hour drive for me.

Went to Pennsboro once in '92, and don't want to go again until it makes it to a track that can hold up to the race's once-fantastic reputation. Please get this race moved.

For being 19, he held up well after how many yellow flags ? I'm tired of hearing about tires and it's the reason races have been cut short. Set your car up correctly and learn how to save your tires and guess what ? They last 100 laps. New 2023 rule, if it's the last ten laps of the race and you blow a tire, head for your trailer. I was waiting for Garrett to lose that race because of the yellows but he did a great job. Congrats young man. You also showed that those rockets set up correctly can still run with those horns. Many dislike Mallory, he is a circus show in himself, but the guy can set a car up.

I believe every single caution was for a car slowing down. It is unprofessional to say the least.

On a positive note, that PRP announcer is great.

Garrett and Cody were at Team Zero headquarters all week, I do know that. . I read on twitter that they are gonna race out of Bloomquists shop 2023 and Cody is gonna oversee both cars?

Only good thing about that race was that young man's right rear held out. Good for him. They dikd with the track forever pre race and that's the results? Pathetic.

^ True That ! ! Nobody could attribute this race being won due to " clean air " especially if a car couldn't make any passes to get to the clean air ! !

That could be right- I don’t know. Cody has a small shop about 3 -4 miles from the Bloomquist compound. He’s had it since his short stint with Bobby Pierce. He/Garrett have used it a lot - just depends on where they are racing.

So… Garrett is a Bloomquist protege. It’s all makin sense now.

Cody's special sauce strikes again!

Just another set fast time win your heat start on the pole and lead every lap if they don't start working race tracks and taking care of them people are going to quit going I went to dirt track races for 50 years now I hardly ever go because it's follow the leader an they want to run 7 8 9 or even 10 classes and wear out the track.

[Highside Hustler25]

I didn't watch but how was the non qualifier race?

[84wedge]

Bloomquist told Smith it would lock down on the bottom, so just hold your line and don't try passing any lapped cars.

Very good article on DOD today about this.

After lap 30 of DTWC feature the racing sucked remaining races. I wonder if track would been different had they not spent over hour working surface for feature.
