- Dave Darland is like the Steve Kinser of USAC right now…the veteran bagged the ISW (Indiana Sprint Week) title this year…congratulations to the entire Pace team!
- Darren Hagen drove his heart out…unfortunately the results do not show that…it won't take long for Keith and Pete to get the new 5-bar Bullet hooked up…and when they do the "W's" will be coming!
- Who could have imagined that Jon Stanbrough would miss the show at Bloomington…that's how tough it is back there! I guess being a true "outlaw" and not running for USAC National points can hurt sometimes.
- Daron Clayton truly is a Modern Day Cowboy! He continues to impress me. Just imagine how good his future son will be…if he grows up to drive sprint cars…with the racing genes that he's got in him!
- It's hard for me, coming from So Cal, to not see Kruser and the Demon battling for the lead every night!
- I wonder what Tony "Cowboy" Jones would have done out there this year had circumstances allowed him to get back there in Alexander's DRC…I'm sure it would have been entertaining to watch to say the least…can you say "slide job"!
- How about Davey Pombo putting a Crossno backup car into the show the only two nights he was given the opportunity…in a car he hasn't been driving and with a seat that doesn't fit!
- J.J. Yeley will try anything to go fast…choppin' up old cars to see if they'll flex and having radical new ones built…can't wait to see what his next creation will do!
- Neil Shepherd sure tested the strength and safety of them XXX Race Cars…glad he's okay!
- Chad Boespflug was haulin' at Haubstadt…great job by the SCRA grad!
- Robert Ballou put on a helluva show from 14th to 3rd at Bloomington!
- I thought all the Indiana tracks were supposed to be dry slick…that's not necessarily what I saw last week!
- It's still weird to me to hear the announcers introduce Indiana's Darren Hagen, Chad Boespflug, and Damion Gardner…and California's Scotty Weir!
- I wonder what Mike Spencer would have done had Ron Chaffin, Bromme and team towed the Lil' Red Sucker back there for him…he did rather respectable for having unfamiliar equipment and a different crew.
- I wish all track prep crews could visit Tri-State Speedway to witness the first-class operation that they have there…from the wacky track ingredients to the push vehicles to the grading equipment…simply the best!
- I sure missed not seeing Josh Wise, Bryan Clauson, J.J. Yeley, Bud Kaeding, Rickie Gaunt, Tony Elliott, Brad Sweet, or anyone with the last name Kinser in a sprint car at Bloomington this year!
- Seems backwards to have had clear, dry skies back in Indiana last week, and then get hit with heavy humidity getting off the plane in So Cal!
- I used to tell everyone that Jerry Coons Jr. was one of the most underrated dirt shoes…now that he's got good equipment full-time he's proving that!
- Are there bigger sprint car fans than Jackslash, Spridge, Mills, and Mr. Klepper?
- If you haven't been back there…you must go…even if it's just to see the beautiful scenery on the way to each track…simply amazing!
- Indiana State Troopers are super cool…especially to racin' folk…thank God for that!
- Quote of the Week: "Needs more wood" replied Dave Darland (with a smile), after being asked what he thought of the track just before hot laps at Tri-State Speedway.
