    I think the rivalry between the WoO guys and the High Limit guys is good for the sport. I love them both, and the benefit of the creation of HL is more great events to watch. The fact that they still face each other once in a while just makes it all the better.

    All I can say is I had a blast at Eldora. Racing was great all week. There was certainly some surprises, but overall very proud of all of the guys. The competition in dirt racing across all disciplines is at an all time high. And of course even being at Eldora I was still able to watch the Silver Dollar Nationals. What a weekend!

    Justin! I ended up visiting Delaware for a work trip ( I’m from Manitoba Canada) and I was ripping down the interstate on Saturday night and seen a sign for Bridgeport Speedway so i bombed the exit and made it in time to catch the sprint car and dual 25 sportsman mod feature. I have to thank you, as had I not followed your channel, the words Bridgeport Speedway may have never even rung a bell to me! Thanks for all you do, I would definitly say the presence of your channel is something i take for granted.

      @scottkernan9007 I agree , but I don't get to see WOO or Highlimit Spint cars in SC . I have seen WOO at Charlotte about 3 times and they are bada$$ but the few sprint car races around here wouldn't be fun to watch for me because I have no clue who even drives them . They all come from other states and they aren't 410s or 360s . I'm a latemodel fan . I live in the birthplace of Super Latemodel racing . The NDRA started in Georgia and SC

      I think it might have something to do with where you live and what's available. I have sprint car racing at local tracks but no late model. On tv I watch only sprint cars. In person, I've only been to sprint car races. If you enjoy both, great, more racing available to watch and support

    I was at Pevely last night and the racing was a bit boring, Except the Late Model feature. 23 cars started, 6 finished. Justin Feger was awesome, he had a few challenges after each restart, there was lots of restarts. He prevailed at the end. Michael Kloos was a close second. Awesome race. The racing surface was great after 5" of rain earlier in the week. The track needs better lighting, the pole side was dark from the grandstand side.

The big races are where they have the potential to make a profit for the year . Weekly shows at most tracks now are lucky to break even . If you guys want to see Hussets Speedway stay open you better start supporting the big latemodel races too

    Gravel cares about the Outlaws vs High Limit because if he wins the WoO title, nobody would care because Sweet wasn’t there to defend his title. Gravel said he’s going to race them every chance he gets because he knows his chances are limited. He felt he had to have this week to validate his Outlaw title run. Schatz proving he’s not totally washed up only helped him as well

    Huset’s sucked for Late Models. The stupid berm at the bottom works for Sprint cars but eliminated the low lane as a LM nose is not compatible. Please move it to I-70 so there are more cars and butts in the seats.
