$50/$75 for 100 miserable, single file, laps of racing. The recent daytime Pittsburghers provided better racing. The Miley's sure lived up to expectations! I wouldn't be surprised if the series drops them at this point.

You can defend them all you want, that wasn't worth paying a dime to watch.

I agree, the Mileys have killed that race. Not like it was back when Ben ran the show. I remember the parking lot filled with campers years past. Its a shame.

The track didn't get one lane until about lap 70 or so, until then the race was really good.  Don't know what your issue is, but anyone who watched the race knows you're full of baloney. As an example, Colton Flinner came from 24th to 4th by lap 50 or so.  And he wasn't the only one to advance.   I seem to remember Josh Richards going to the tail at the 40-Lap fuel stop and coming back to finish 2nd. If you want to hate on the Mileys, that's your prerogative, but let's at least be truthful when doing so.  Where's you get that name, anyhow??

most pass's were made due to attrition..the track was burned up and gone when RT took half his spoiler off in the heat races. no one dared run wide open up there at any time after. to say the track was great till lap 70 is a joke,then add onto that the botched finish....just bulldoze the dump now and get it over with..wtf!

Flinner used his stuff up on the top quickly. It was one lane the whole time. Richard's got back to second because everyone in front of him lost tires. Moran and McCreadie didn't actually pass a car during green after they dropped to the back. So what race did you watch?

[flash49]

Moran and Mc Creadie both pitted on lap 82, the track was one lane by then.  The first 40 laps until the fuel stop had some excellent racing, the track was not one lane then, and nothing any of you can say will change that.  Ricky Thornton methodically worked his way up to 3rd from 14th, and it was mostly because of passes, not attrition.  Tim Mc Creadie started 6th, was shuffled back to around 11th at the start, and also methodically made his way up to the top three, by passing, not by attrition.  I believe Colton Flinner made it to around lap 60, hardly quickly burning his tires off.  How about the 2nd B-Main, where Rick Eckert, Tanner English, and Colton Flinner came to the finish line practically three abreast after close battles throughout the race.  

 

The ending of the Pittsburgher was not as dramatic as some previous ones, but to say the racetrack was 100 laps of one lane racing is not the Truth. Some version of  "alternate facts."

That was one boring race 80% of the 100 laps. What 2 cars finished on their original tires ive heard on DoD say?

 

They did no track prep what so ever as they raced on the same track from Friday night. Did not even scrap or turn the dirt over. Sprinkle a lil bit of water on it and that's it. It was like Cody summers at Mansfield at the last dirt million once he knew he was done with the place he didn't care anymore about a good surface.

The last 20 laps passing was none existing. EPJ on restarts tried to run the outside to pick a car off on the restarts and just couldn't get it done. Clanton slipped of the bottom and got shuffled back because he probably had no tires left.

RT ran a excellent race. He stayed in the hunt and did not burn his tires up. It showed at the end because Richards had nothing for him.

The track was a racey up to about lap 60. Then you could see it starting to get locked down on the bottom. By lap 80 it was who was going to survive and it showed with all the repeated yellows. T-mac, whom I thought was going to come roaring thru the field because it looked as though the 39 crew changed the RF and both rear tires. The camera guy wouldn't stay on him for the complete stop. He couldn't get off the bottom wonce he returned trackside.

Because of all the yellows at the end, tires, it took away a good race. Great race no. To blame anyone I feel is unfair. I think the support division had a lot to do with the track ending up what it was. Run the dam headliner show then let the support have what's left of the track.

RT jr. Nice win.

You wouldn't know since you weren't there but the Rush feature was way better then the 100. Lots of passing throughout the field. Blaming them for the lack of track prep once again shows you cannot look past your hatred of crate cars.

For what its worth- Lucas made the call to not add any more water to the track, not the Mileys.

Cant water asphalt.they wanted to get out of the track asap.

[jo73]

Horn, I don't care who the support division is. When I pay to go see a big race or a touring series that is what I prefer to see. If it was a good race, great I'm glad you enjoyed it.

bottom line......was it worth 50 bucks ? doesn't sound like it.

The place goes from having one of the top races of the year a few years ago to a garbage track a couple years later.
