I’m estimating they get close to 50 sprint cars but not less than 45, give or take a few local cars. Would love to see 50 but it will most likely be just under. Rumor is Kyle Larson might show up also. That would be pretty cool. I’ve been lucky enough to see him race a sprint car 3 or 4 times and it’s always exciting to watch. I know Smoke and Kahne have showed up for the silver cup in the past but who knows. I don’t think Rick Hendrick is too big on Kahne running sprint cars these days. Smoke destroyed a car Saturday night at Eldora so I’d say it’s a crap shoot if he shows up. Either way we’re in for a great night of racing with the Outlaws, All Stars, Locals, and some guys from out East. This is easily in my top 3 favorite races of the year. Can’t wait!

Right around 45 cars. I think the Outlaws get the sweep this year and Dollansky wins the first with Saldana winning the second. You have a couple on your list that won't be there but there's also a few missing that'll probably be there.

What does everyone else think?

No williams, kuriger or priester, Tony Stewat is running a 360 race tonight, Hopefully Larson and Shane Stewart show up though,

[#1Cgeislerfan]

Stuart Williams?

[Tuffy_59]

Stuart Williams?

The Williams I had listed was Eric. I would think he'd be there but I don't know for sure or have any confirmation. Don't know about Stuart Williams. I was surprised he wasn't at Eldora Friday or Saturday.

Pretty sure Wimmer, Helms,, and Sheldon Haud are a no go as well. Ellenberger hasn't raced since he left the track that one night so who knows with him? Maybe Dave Blaney? I don't see TK on that list and I imagine he'll be there unless I missed something.

[jlandonl]

I don't think to many locals will be there but did see Andy priest is coming

[Tyler Beichner]

I'm gonna guess optimistically and say 53 cars. I'll hold back on picking the winners, don't want to make myself look too dumb

[Quarterson-Lutz racing]

37 cars schatz wins 1 and paul mcmahn wins 2nd. I remember eric williams saying a few days ago he wasn't racing on facebook, but i did just see stevie smith is on his way in the black bandit

[trigger]

I say 44 cars.. Fast Time; Schatz 1st feature; Schatz 2nd feature ; Pittman Hopefully 2L has a great night !!!

[Tuffy_59]

Larson just confirmed via twitter that he will be there

[KPotter]

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade here but, Mother Nature just left Twinsburg, Ohio heading generally southeast. I will be monitoring the weather until time to leave.

Why does there always have to be one negative nancy?

[#1Cgeislerfan]

Why does there always have to be one negative nancy?

i would really like to hear Round Robins opinion on the matter...

Not being a "Negative Nancy", just speaking the truth. We had Thunder, lightning and a torrential downpour. I am still hoping things clear up and I don't waste a 2 1/2 hour drive again like I did for the Friday part of the Firecracker. I did come back on Saturday. And yes, I realize I could have gotten a motel room.

Right now the radar looks like the rain will miss the track. Really hoping to see a good show tonight.

Just looking at the Butler radar they are getting storms just off to the west of Lauraville and after that looking good we had heavy storms up here in Mercer County heading that way that looks like they're going to stay west of the Sarver oval

[#1Cgeislerfan]

thundering in Cabot but no rain, its gonna miss to the west at Lernerville as well

QT: McMahan 1st Feature: Dollansky 2nd Feature: Dale Blaney I expect Kerry Madsen to have a good night tonight too.
