Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 07.07.2007

The 1/3 mile dirt track features winged 360 sprint cars, late models, Grand National cars, and 4 cylinders.

The luckiest day in my life was not a lucky night at the races. The drivers had very much trouble in the features. I have never seen half the crowd leave before the late model feature was done! It was spin out after spin out in the top divisions. The sprint cars and late models are all very experienced drivers, and they should be used to a dry track in July. The track was not bumpy. I have been to this track around a dozen times over the past 15 years, and I know it is not normally this way.

The late model feature was easily won by Russ Schlefer. He has been the top driver of the dirt late models south of where I live for years. Pete Parker has been the best driver north of my home. The Grand National feature was won from the pole by Brad Lubach, who was last year's track champ. He bought the car after winning the huge 50/50 raffle jackpot at the huge local event called the Eve of Destruction at Wisconsin International Raceway. He spent the money wisely. I am always impressed by the power of the Grand Nationals at all the tracks that they appear at. Former NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Brad Mueller passed much of the field to finish in the Top 3.
