Doubt that they try and run the Pros today. They're not going to want to refund all the paying Sunday spectators ticket money. Pros can hang around until Monday, if necessary, before heading to Dallas.

It's nearly 11:30 and we are still at it. There are 2 left with a chance to double. Monty Bogan who just missed a double up here in the spring and Jimmy Daniels. But only one will have a chance after the semis in SS since they will be running each other.

Robbie Draughon slams the door on Jimmy Daniels hopes to double up by taking the SS trophy after Jimmy had just won in Stock. Nice job guys, it was some great racing tonight!

What a fun night of racing, it had it all. National points championship, flat tires, help from from other racers not in the same category, MacGyver problem solving, and on and on. As you might have guessed most of the spectators were team members or racers that had hgbeen eliminated from competition. Doesn't " being eliminated from competitioyn" sound way better than "Looser"?
I owe a big thank you to Mike McMahan for spotting in the third round. For what ever reason the track got a little "iffy" second and fourth round. Just think about showing up for work at 7:00 am and getting the job done almost 18 hours later. A BIG thanks to all of those people that made yesterday and early today possible! |

I almost forgot to thank Larry, Patsy and Cooter for the reporting, it's good to see y'all back in action. Good luck at the Rock!

No problem Frank, I haven't raced much this year but the last 3 weekends have been a blast and I enjoy doing the reports. I think NHRA's decision although it may have not been all that popular here yesterday was a good one. Waking up this morning, it was a great decision as Larry said it's raining and not much sign of it clearing up. That was some great racing last night, that Jimmy Daniels was double oh every time it seemed in Stock so congratulations to him on the win and almost double up.
Great night for Robbie Draughon and his crew. He put that car back together just a few days ago after hurting a motor at Dinwiddie and comes here untested and wins his first National event Wally! He hadn't raced that car in several months, so kudos to him and Tabitha they are some great people. Not Stock or SS but Brooke Warren Foley gets the runner-up in Top Dragster after winning at Dinwiddie last weekend. Nice job by her and family! There was the big heads up 2cd round where Daren Poole Adams took out Alli Doll and prevented her from taking over the National points lead. I didn't know about this at the time but apparently Jim Marshall had a flat tire just before 3rd round last night and Gene Jordan came to the rescue with his set of tires. So we had all kinds of drama last night! I went out 2cd round on a redlight to Randi Lyn Shipp but apparently she was ready for me anyway as she was .006 but it would've been alot better to turn it green. Well after 3 weeks in a row I think we are calling it a season. At the moment I don't have any intentions of going to Rockingham but you never know it's still a few days away. And it's still raining......

Hey Larry that was great thinking for the problem solver last night. I have to hit Walmart before Rockingham anyway so I’m thinking about getting a box of those special plugs 😉
