Well, it wasn't quite like Thursday night, but the track wasn't tooo bad. The winner came from the front row and Cory Kruseman came from the seventh row to get third. A lot of yellows stopping the action, including several who just stopped and didn't pull off like they could, but there was some action on a track that got real tricky. Bigger crowd and all done by 11 pm. There was one fan who said it took him two hours to go 52 miles betwen the big track NASCAR activity to the dirt track due to so much traffic trying to get out and go home.
