    Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that place & have been there plenty of times but the modern car just seems to produce very limited potential winners there.
    Nothing new. During the world for the years 1988 through 2001. They had 2 winners that weren't 0, 21 or 99m. They 5 different winners in 14 years not real diverse.

      I've been saying this for years. Eldora has always had a short list of potential winners. Dark horse and unpredictable winners have always been an exception at that place.

        I most definitely will be back next year.
        loved the small crowd after attending 31 straight World 100’s, every Dream, every prelude and every truck race.
        The racing was good and a lot less drunks!
        Same! It's the perfect race for me to take the kiddos to. We will make this a yearly pilgramage as long as they have it. Used to go to the Johnny Appleseed/Baltes Classic with the kids but the holiday weekend has gotten in the way. This race is even better!

          But then from 2002 to 2009 it was a first time winner 8 years in a row. Of course that time frame was probably peak dirt late model racing in the grand scheme of things. The cars didn't really start getting completely out of control until mid 2010's IIRC. It just seemed 20 years ago it was much more wide open feeling than today. Of course 0 & 21 won the most cause they are 2 of the GOATS.
