[MUD MAESTRO]

Winner Davenport
2, Owens
3, O'neal
4 Pearson jr
5 Brown

JD leads majority of the 25 lap race then Jimmy Owens grabs lead in traffic. Davenport slips by Owens with 5 laps remaining and wins the first prelim.

Who can beat JD is the question.

Jd won???? You don't say.............how many flukes can one guy really have in a season?

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha..............I certainly wouldn't run out and buy a longhorn though, there lucky streak is about to come to an end.......again.

The racing tonight was great. The passing and battles for position were outstanding in the heats and the A-Main...not so much in the D, C and B, but it really was tremendous show. For my money, nothing beats the racing at Knoxville.

Owens and O'Neal ran strong all night, but JD was in a class of his own again. Bloomquist was surprisingly mediocre. The Simpson brothers ran well...especially Chad. I'm not sure what happened with Billy Moyer Jr. He was going forward but didn't finish. Billy Sr. is going to need to pick it up to pull a Birky. I'm not sure who has the worst luck of the national touring drivers...Eddie Carrier or Tim McCreedie.

Can't wait for the race tomorrow. Bummed I can't be there to see the race on Saturday since there is no PPV.

Davenport won??????

Very surprising.

[SnakeX3]

You couldn't tell it was a surprise by the way Essex and the rest of the broadcast crew were gushing over JD. I kinda felt embarrassed for Superman. He doesn't come across like the type that is comfortable with all that praise...even if it is well deserved.

I said it before and I will catch crap about it but I sat in section F Row 28 ans part of the back stretch was obstructed. How about the 60' big white toter parked sideways coming out of turn 2, couldn't see anything overtop of it. This place is great but they better not rest on there lorals. There a track 4 hours away in South Dakota (Badlands Motor Speedway) that is going over the top next year. The National Sprint League didn't race against Knoxville this year but next year they have 4 or 5 shows on Saturday Nights at Badlands. Oh forgot to mention 410 Sprints $5000 to win every Saturday Night and maybe more impressive $700 to start the A-Main and $100,000 point fund at the end of the year.

Bloomer surprisingly mediocre? Not a huge fan of his but 22nd to 7th in 25 laps is better than mediocre!!!

If you keep watching these post you will learn real quick who JD is.
I can tell you he does wear a cape and that basturd is fast as hell.
Keep your eyes on him this wknd you will learn somthing.

I meant mediocre by his standards...as in he was *ONLY* 7th in the points for the night, *ONLY* 5th overall in qualifying, 5th in his heat and 4th in the B-Main. Yes. He had an impressive run up through the field and put himself in the show for Saturday, but for Scott overall his night was pretty mediocre.

[SnakeX3]

Last year it took 434 points on either Thursday or Friday to make the show. Based on that, there are 17 drivers that are almost for sure in the field. Only one Lucas regular, Eddie Carrier, is not among those 17 but he will start as a provisional if he doesn't improve on Friday. Here are the top 17 in points plus ECJ. That leaves roughly 7 spots up for grabs on Friday and 6 on Saturday.
