You forgot to include me in that group Cubic. I've said for more than a decade that if the lotto numbers ever hit I will plant corn on that property faster than you can say, Outlaws Sweep the Grove. Take It Easy.....

Lol, speaking of corn, will the Posse make it four wins out of four years at Knoxville? Likewise, will a Knoxville local ever be able to win an Outlaw show at home again? The cornucopia of corny questions is endless. Although, I figured you'd have other concerns on your mind right about now like Rahmer having the fastest car in America. Schatz who? Driver of the year is ripe for the picking..................

Heartwarming tribute to Mr. Hughes at the Clip last night, both in ceremony and with excellent racing. 410 feature = 1 caution on lap 24 to set up an exciting last lap barn burner. 358 feature went non-stop. Both very impressive on a top to bottom dry-slick slide job-fest race surface.
Wouldn't crown Driver of the Year just yet 3$. The new spectacular lighting will make it easy to see how he does when the travelers come to town and he has to race with a flat wing and no cockpit controls. Might want to hold off on the pre-mature annointing for now.

Mike, I can understand you wanting to get Williams Grove off the WoO schedule. I watched teams that were not even in the top 10 in weekly points at the track beat the WoO twice last year. Nowhere else in America does that happen.
