First, a great WoO race where the 15 reminds us to not count him out quite yet, and then an All Star race where Austin McCarl breaks out on the national scene by outdueling Aaron Reutzel in one of the best races I think I've ever seen. 

Awesome stuff. And now to catch the end of LIncoln on SpeedShiftTV. Great night for sprint car fans.

Another great Outlaws feature. Will have to watch for the highlights of the All Star one. At the moment just wanting to stick to one streaming service for Sprint cars. Don't like seeing Schatz win & would have rather seen Larson or Sweet win but damn that was a great move by Schatz. Like him or boo him, that son uva gun can drive a race car. I couldn't even be mad after that ending

Do what you can to find a full replay of the All Star race, Nick.  Highlights won't do that race justice.

Signature here.

All Star Finish in my top 5 of ALL-TIME, more than thousand A-Mains......

That All Star race was a dandy.  The lead changed hands in some laps like 3-4 times!   Reutzel probably was a bit better but McCarl just got by.  Some of the slingshot moves were just sick!

The Outlaw race was great and the all star feature was even better. Phenomenal time to be a sprint car fan. 

I was sooooo impressed with Austin McCarl.  He was not going to be denied. Detrich was hauling it up through the field.  Reutzel was being Reutzel (one of the best out there).   I agree Top 5

I finally decided to get into the future and purchased Floracing yesterday..  Man, am I glad I didn't wait.  My interest in wings has been waning since a couple buddies and I attended a couple of the Indiana Sprint Weeks races about 4 years ago.  My interest was gaining in wingless, and I am one of the biggest fans of the crate wingLESS class that runs mainly at Wilmot. After last night's All Star/IRA A main, just WOW.  That was one hell of a race.  Just fantastic.  I wish the majority of wing races could be like that but I am also realistic that the freight train races are of the norm. 

That was probably the BEST track i have ever seen at Park jefferson.....a sub 13 second time in time trials

great show...42 cars.........a 27 car A FEATURE......and checked flag flew at 1020....AWESOME SHOW

FloRacing is probably one of the best bangs for your buck.  Late Models, All Star Sprints, USAC, Big Block Modifieds there is something on all the time on Flo.  I signed up just about a month ago for the yearly subscription and watch it all the time.  They have a 24/7 replay of classics on that I have on as background noise while I'm working, too!  Lots of old features from IRP.  Always cool to see young Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon! 

Both races were awesome and the little bit of the Late Model I was able to watch along with the hilites looked good as well.  Sitting in the family room watching all of that action on TV with only a 20' walk to the bedroom at the end of the night was priceless.  I couldn't help but think of all the windshield time wasted in my younger race chasing days.  Something could be said for meeting friends at the tracks and getting a whif of spent methanol but I spent enough years around the pits and infield to last ten lifetimes.  I'm loving the convenience and ability to juggle a couple of channels and follow multiple races in one sitting.

Agreed one of the best if not the best features I have seen in 52 years of attending races. The cloudy skies and cool temperatures kept the track in great shape and they were using all of it in the feature. Very glad I went to Park Jefferson!

The worst president of my lifetime:

2 excellent races with lots of passing!

I thought Reutzel & Larson were gonna be unbeatable.... wrong

As for Schatz, I've been rooting for the  other guys for years, but it was good to see that he still has it. VERY impressive!

I watched both, 2 laptops. Luckily timing worked out so I could see both features in their entirety & almost all the heats too

Absoultey fantastic night of racing.  Seems like Park Jefferson shows this year have all been good and then Saturday just was insane.  Diffentaly on my bucket list now.  I hope the Outlaws or All-Stars goes there next year!

Hahaha that's funny.  I'm in the middle of posse land and when I went out to Indiana Sprint a couple years back I was less than thrilled to pull up to Williams Grove for the first race back. And pretty much for the rest of the season. Indiana wingless racing will do that to ya I guess. 

Agreed on the feeling spoiled and not being excited for the next wing race. I remember my first experience with wingless, it was at Wilmot, a USAC show, way back when, when Tony was still racing them.  I was used to seeing the wings just hug that corner and be semi straight doing it.  I actually did not like what I saw.  That changed years later when I went to the Speed weeks races I mentioned, and saw the action that was on the track.  Now, Wilmot has crate wingLESS and I couldn't be happier.  Sure, I will still attend the Outlaw shows in the area, but I am a weekly attendee of Wilmot just to see these guys hang it out and back em in.  I just wish USAC would come back to Wisconsin, it has been too many years.

Is there a replay somewhere of the Feature that can be viewed?

Paintboss,  if you are referring to the All Star race.....you have to be a FloRacing subscriber to see the replays.    I would check the All Star and FloRacing You Tube channels,  I know they at least have the highlights up somewhere.    The WoO race replays are available on the Dirtvision website for free,  but you have to sign up for a no-cost membership.  (no CC needed) 

The little track fairgrounds track in Davenport had a pretty darn good WoO Late Model race on Friday night.     The winning margin was  0.0077 seconds.      I am not sure how many fractions of an inch that translates too.....but they missed an opportunity to make news,  they should have declared a tie!
