Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Congrats D J Pires on your stock win and to John Armstrong for his SS win.

3:42 am. Must have had a sufficient enough nap 4th round to keep me just barely awake enough to complete the drive back to Ohio. I've got two rounds worth of top end photos from Stock I'll post when I regain consciousness.

As you all can see from DRC the raced was finished yesterday. It was a long day, but the D1 crew and Maple Grove did a great job getting the 400 plus car race done on Sunday so most of us could get home to celebrate Memorial Day. Thanks to all who have served and are serving, no words can express the debt we owe.

Thanks to Jack and Michael for their reporting, also great job getting into the late rounds. Congrats to all the winners.

Here are two finish line photos from the third round of super stock.

Good morning - first things first on this fine sunny Memorial Day - thanks to those who served - because of your efforts we can enjoy races like yesterdays .

Next thing is even though most of you are still in their jammies some of us are back hard at work this morning ( including this reporter who is open for business ) and will get to bar-b-quing later .

I've still got a bunch of pics also and will get them posted during the day .All in all it was a super good race that i'm glad they got in yesterday as Ken really hates overtime .

Here are a few more shots from the late rounds .Speaking of late rounds I managed to go some yesterday but not without the help of my good friend and great chassis tuner Tom Goldman - owner of GAS Racing in Allentown, PA -I was having some issues and he managed to keep me off the wall - and without his help I wasn't going past round one .On top of that thanks I have to put a shout out to my friends Marc LaBrecque and Jeff Jewell for crewing for me - thanks boys, it was quite a day .

Just wanted to say thank you to all the racers who participated at this event. My son and I were there both Saturday and Sunday spectating and had a great time as always. It's cool to see so many of the posters here actually running.

As a side note, Lewis Bloom in the announcing booth said if Jack won the event, Lewis would never announce again. This was pretty late in the rounds and when Jack lost, Lewis let out a sigh of relief because he said he didn't want to quit announcing. Of course it was all in jest but Jack, maybe if you see him, give him a hard time about that one!

See you guys at the Dutch.
