Fast time - Joey Saldana - 13.197
Hard Charger - Paul McMahan - 13th from 23rd start

Best wishes go out to Craig Dollansky who was taken to the hospital after a 3 car wreck on lap 23.  He apparently has an arm injury that required the cage to be cut off to get him out.  The start of it was a head on crash into the wall by Jason Meyers and then Dollansky and Tim Shaffer (83A) were collected when he bounced off.  Meyers and Shaffer were OK. 

Meyers loses some more points to Donny Schatz who finished 4th.

Another Top 5 for Kraig Kinser with 5th from a 4th place start.  Keep up the good work, KK.

There was no touching Joey tonight. He had his typical Eldora car and didn't blow a tire this time. SK raced a great race but had nothing for Joey. Typical dusty Eldora, 36 car count and good racing. The wreck happened right in front of RimRider and me right before turn one. The Wild Child came up on Jason who was on the high side. I was looking right at them when it happened. The contact turned Jason head first into the wall and flipped him . Tim and Greg with no where to go piled into Jason at full speed. All three cars were torn up. They had to cut Greg's car apart to get him out. It took quite awhile and we never heard how bad he was. They got him on the board and into the ambulance. This was one of the worse wrecks I've witnessed and it was scary. I hope Greg's going to be ok. This makes two wrecks in his last two trips here and neither was his fault. Boy you hate to see  things like this.
  Took a few pictures and will post them Monday. I'm staying for the USAC races tomorrow night.
