First off sorry to all that was following along, darn iPhone batteries suck! Since everyone knows the results, and just getting home, I want throw out some details. Only 10 cars finished the race and only three cars, Richards, Tmac, and lanigan did not pit! Satterlee pitted on lap 51 for tires and was a top 5 car. Congrats to Greg. Eckert pitted shortly after Satterlee did, and took off. Eckert was the only car that showed Richards a fender. Blankenship got up to second and was running a great race when he jumped the cushion twice in one lap, and that was the end for him. With six to go Eric Wells had one bad lap, one really bad lap. He jumped the cushion in 2 came down the back stretch wide open in to 3 drove straight into the cushion. Wells did a one and half with twist off the cushion. Severely ending his night, fortunately Eric was not hurt in the crash.
Hats off to the track for doing everything could to get the track prepped, and keeping the program moving. A big hats off to all of the drivers putting on a show in less than favorable conditions, and sacrificing their equipment for the fans.

Everyone always wants wide open racing, well they sure got it. obviously you need a slick surface for a race of that length. The cars just can't hold up to the beating they take.

He was taking way better care of his equipment than anybody else. He was pedaling it going into 1 and 3 and ltting it roll into the center of the corner before picking up the gas. Everybody that challenged him was burping it and jumping back into the gas almost instantly. He drove a more intelligent race than anybody else.

Not to mention he had the luxury of starting up front and never really having to be in heavy traffic. Makes it a lot easier to take care of stuff when you spend a good portion of the race by yourself. Sure he lapped a couple but every time it would start to get heavy someone would break and bring out a yellow. He ran a good race, much better then I wish he'd have ran. I went into the weekend saying anyone but the 1, so of course he swept the weekend.He was taking way better care of his equipment than anybody else.

I'm not calling you out on this or anybody else, it's more of a general thing I've noticed. I don't get the Richards hate. He's a nice kid who is a hell of a wheelman and a big part of the future of late model racing.

Nobody likes a winner, haha. No more to it than that for me. There was a time where I didn't like Eckert, and that was simply because it seemed like every late model race I went to he won. Now I find myself rooting for him, and Richards wins every race I go to.I'm not calling you out on this or anybody else, it's more of a general thing I've noticed. I don't get the Richards hate.

Like him or hate him, that's your own opinion. The fact is Josh taking last year driving in NASCAR, is showing how it improved his driving. He was not banging the cushion a lot last night and was hit his marks. I say hats off to Josh keeping his equipment under him and driving a great race.
As far as all the traveling series out there, they are designed to protect the top ten in points. Love it or hate it, that's the way it works.

Don't take what I'm saying as bitching or whining. He's good, he definitely drove the best race. I'm just not a fan of his. Nothing more to it than that. And I actually like the WoO format, only difference i'd like to see would be to add more cars to the redraw, like maybe the 2nd place cars in the heat or top 2 qualifiers to not win a heat or something.

i believe josh richards is the best, that's why i like to see him lose.I'm not calling you out on this or anybody else, it's more of a general thing I've noticed. I don't get the Richards hate. He's a nice kid who is a hell of a wheelman and a big part of the future of late model racing.
i actually enjoy watching him drive, he's the big show now.
jimmy owens, and lannigan are the other 2 that are in his league and are as consistently at the top of most races they enter. IMO
