I saw and was perplexed by that too. Makes me wonder if Dan got the win due to the front nose of his car beating out the front tire of Scotts car? I heard of a race won last year by someone who's nose dipped low enough to trip the lights just ahead of the opponents front tire, but since the other racers car wasn't blessed with ground effects skirting, his bumper wouldn't dip low enough to do the same thing no matter how hard the brakes were applied...very interesting....
In all of my years of wishing that ESPN would give us non-alcoholic/injected racers some real exposure on television, THIS WAS THE BEST SPORTSMAN COVERAGE EVER!!!! I regret that I missed taping the first 10 minutes of it, but the last 20 of the JEGS ALL-STARS coverage was so awesome, that I'll be enjoying the rewinding of those moments again and again!!!
As for Greg Luneack, I thought it was great seeing him looking as though he was glaring at the tv camera, while he was reading his opponents progression towards him/the finish line....I can hear Allen Reinhart (I hope I spelled his name right) saying--- "HEY GREG SMILE AT THE CAMERA"! LOL.... Furthermore, I thought it was humorous that in spite of the correct spelling of Greg's last name on the check, those wonderful tv people still misspelled his last name (Luneak instead of Luneack), when showing him in the winners circle...what's the deal with that ESPN???
It was also nice to see Div's 5 & 7 nearly pull off the upset of a series that's been dominated by the first four divisions for years...that made me feel so good knowing how close they both came (200 points ea.), that I'm more motivated than ever to do what I can to not only get back to racing, but become one of (if not) the first fwd racers to qualify for/participate in an all stars race...now that would be something else WOW WORTHY!!!
