Success StoriesThe Eriez Speedway Facebook page described Hess’s run from 25th to second in Sunday night’s late model feature as one to be remembered, and it certainly was. 41 cited lapped traffic as the reason he lost the lead to Haudenschild on lap 28.Sweet’s win extended his points lead, as current runner-up David Gravel finished sixth. But, just as on Sunday night when Macedo spun while leading after rear-ending a lapped car, the driver of the No. REPLAY: steals the victory from on the last lap by 0.113-second in a thriller at pic.twitter.com/bdkfaDyuJRMacedo led the opening 28 laps, including through a mid-race stanza that saw consecutive red flags for flips by both Kraig Kinser and Brandon Mullen.

Fanning the FlamesAllow me to echo this sentiment. The driver walked away from the wreck. 🔥 #TMSatTMS // pic.twitter.com/eSprVlVcx1There were no shortage of flips between the center-drive modified heat races at Georgetown on Tuesday, but the worst of it went to Hillsboro, Del.’s Kevin Sockriter, who got slammed on the outside of a three-wide exiting turn 2 during his heat race that saw his car hit a berm on the backstretch and go for a nasty tumble into a culvert.
Besides, I can’t count on my fingers, toes and hairs on my head the number of 30, 40 or 50-lap dirt races that have literally outdrawn ARCA’s crowds in 2021.And as for the removed requirement to buy fueling equipment, I again have no sympathy for teams that can’t afford it. Dirt racing could take a lesson from the ARCA Menards Series, which has been blasted by its own competitors for bastardizing its racing in the name of supposed cost savings. If the cars can’t run 200 laps on fuel, and pit stops are not something that can be accommodated, cut the feature to 100 laps and be done with it. Lap event but with scheduled cautions. For one, I’ve been uniformly critical all season long of features that dub themselves a 100, 200, etc. The AARN write-up tried to spin this as a positive, noting that not requiring “quick-fills” means that lower-dollar teams can enter the big-money events at Oswego without buying more equipment.Sorry, but I have no soft spot for the underdog here.
I know plenty of fans and competitors alike applaud promoters for putting up extra purse money to start 25 cars in cases like that as opposed to running a B-main, but if I’m buying a ticket I’d much rather see a B-main with real go-or-go-home consequences get run. Making this race a longer version of a regular weekly show may encourage more participants, but at the cost of actually diminishing the event.On that same note, I’ve already said my piece about Adams’s post-race rant from Wednesday, but I want to call out in principal that I applaud the River Cities Speedway for running a B-main despite having 25 cars show up.
