Things getting heated before Sprit week starts…
It’s too many cars for sure. But a good problem to have in some regards. I like heat races only taking four. Wish every show was that way and also qualifying was a little more even with the national guys. I hate a pill draw having such an impact on the night.57 cars….
Lawrenceburg got rained out earlier tonight and is rescheduled for Tuesday. I know firsthand how tough it can be getting a sprint car ready to run a local weekly show, much respect for these guys that have to do this thrash almost every night for a week. I’m sure they are happy to have a break. Especially since so much equipment has been torn up in the first two races at Putnamville and Kokomo. CJ Leary and KTJ had some tough luck last night:
If you’ve never watched 410 sprint car racing on a bullring dirt track like Kokomo take a few minutes to watch this. There is no better racing anywhere on planet Earth. The men (and women) who strap these beasts on and go wheel to wheel with no fenders leave it all on the racetrack.
Watching the best of the best do their thing in wingless Sprint cars is truly addictive. And if you talk to anyone who is lucky (or crazy) enough to drive one, they will tell you once bitten by the bug it’s game over. Like a drug.
Edited to add a really cool compilation video of Indiana Sprint Week last year:
Be watching on Flo…Anyone gonna be in Lawrenceburg tomorrow?
