Been going to the races for 58 years and this was a first. Lance wins while running the last 2 and a half laps with broken front and top wing. To top it off, had Hodnett, Freddie, and DD nipping at his tail tank. Unbelievable!!!! Guess that’s why he’s in the HOF.

I actually thought he did a great job of blocking and they did a piss poor job of passing.....

Lance man handled that car around the track the last few laps.  What a great race!!  Enjoyed it very much!  Can't wait for the Summer Nationals!

One of the most amazing finishes I've ever seen! That was a first for me, never saw anyone hang on and win with a collapsed top wing for 2+ laps!

Wonder what the deal is with all the broken wings this week?

I hate to say it but I kind of agree - he was a mental mastermind there. Only chance the 27 had would have involved a pretty high risk move that could have destroyed a lot of equipment. Good on Lance, made for an entertaining finish.

Really?  I don't care who it is, Kauffman, Rahmer, Paxton etc.  You do not do that without assistance (i.e. Traction Control, tire doping etc.)  They run with the top wing half cock-eyed anyhow.  And yes replying to a comment on Facebook, the motor in the turns flutters and sounds like a half sick VW.  That is was traction control will do.  I really don't know where the track tech guys are now days.  It is not run what you brung.  The port caught them cheating last year with tires at the Dream race.  And you people really think for as long as Davey Brown has been around that he doesn't know how to cheat???  Also 2 races in a row, Hodnett basically gives him the win.

How could it have been a great race. The video that I saw showed a black track and lots of slippin and slidein going on is how Lance got away with that. I wasn't there but that doesn't stop me from knowing more about it than those who were.

Wow, you really are an expert in this area - good for you.  You can tell they have traction control based on how the car sounds in the turns and that is extremely impressive.  Now for a dose of reality: Does Davey Brown know how to cheat - absolutely.  He has been in this game for eight thousand years.  Does that mean he cheats - hell no.  At Port they found them with an illegal compound on a left front tire - a left front tire, are you kidding me.  If they were going to cheat that do you really believe it would be the left front tire????  The compound is stamped on every tire, so if you were going to cheat I hardly think you would do it with something so blatant as that. They were caught and punished accordingly.  It has been stated before, Kreitz makes his living selling parts.  If he is branded a cheater, his business goes in the toilet.  I really do not believe in any circumstance that he would take that chance.  How many times has this car gone through tech? World of Outlaws, All Stars, William Grove, Baps, Port Royal, Lincoln, Hagerstown but the guy writing a post on the internet knows that it is illegal because he can hear it in the turns????

 

It really is mind boggling that some people can't sit back and watch something this great and enjoy it.  Do you have to be his fan - hell no.  But that does not make him a cheater because he beats your favorite team?  It must take an extremely uneducated person to realize the extertise that team has with Donnie, Davey and Lance have and what they can do with a car on any given night.  They know every track and track surface like the back of their hands.  Please name me one driver that hasn't had at least moderate success with Davey Brown as his crew crew?  People want to complain but when this team eventually retires, they will look around and wonder where all the great teams have gone.  Keep complaining and coming up with conspiracy theories, one day when you realize what a great thing we have in Central Pa, it will be gone.

Jesus H. Christ, here we go again!  I actually am surprised though......I figured this shit would have started a few posts earlier than what it did.  Lol

Hmmmm, Dewease and Hodnett start 1-2 and guess what, finish 1-2. Shocker!!  Hahahahahaha, you just proved everyone's point that you have an agenda when it comes to Port Royal. Man, Strawser, you are something else. Can't wait for Port tonight and bonus..........NO BSTRAWSER ANYWHERE!!!!!!

I don't have a favorite driver to team anymore.  They have all retired.  By the way, it is obvious you love the driver and I don't.  And yes I have been going to the races for over 40 years and have been involved in the sport as a sponser of a couple of drivers over the years.  Like it or not, I am entitled to my opinion as well as yours!!!!!  I have also been in and around manufacturing and engineering for 50 yrs so yes I am educated.   Fast track like the Port was on Wednesday and the Weikert Memorial and they are not winners.  There will always be other great teams come and go as they always have.

The best races and tracks this week has been the Port on Wednesday and both Lincoln races.  No slip and sliding there.   Hmm, fast tracks and Lance doesn't win.

Some of you crack me up. As a fan, I don't care what driver you were rooting for, I don't care who started where, I don't care that the track was slick and dusty......it was just a great race that you should remember for a LONG time. One of my all time favorites, after attending races at Williams Grove for over 35 years. If that finish did not leave you with a great impression on how great sprint car racing can be at times, you need to find a different sport.

smartest move of the race was Hodnett not pushing the issue at the end which would have lead to a serious accident!!

It started out really wet!  The track prep was right on last night.  That is the way it is supposed to be.  Really wet and choppy at the start of the night and then it starts to slow down to a perfect track for the feature.   Williamsgrove nailed the track prep and it was a homerun in the feature......just saying!!

Not like the track in Juniata county it starts out slow and gets slower throughout the night and the track is used up before the heats are over.  Port has the worst track prep of any track in central PA.  Get ready for some very slow laps in the heats and feature tonight at the slow palace.  Hard, black and dry before the heats are over.....guaranteed.  Remember to ask Stimely and Swartz tonight if you can have a great racing like last night when the track starts our very heavy!  


Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!
