@SkylineSpeedway
for his 1st win of 2023! He did it from the 6th starting spot too!
A lot of non Sprint Car fans complain about how long Sprint races take to run with pushing them off, flipping & such but their 6 heats took 40 mins compared to the Late Model heats which took 70 mins to complete tonight

"This is damn cool to win at Attica. I've had several seconds here. I was committed to running the bottom- I'm too damn old to run the top. This is Bryan Clauson's birthday so I parked it for him."

Hell of a run by Jason Sides. After starting 21st & going to the work area twice early on, Sides chargers to a 7th place finish in the WoO Sprint feature
@Lernerville
"I've been doing this 35 years & I've never seen an opening day crowd like this. It's all about the fans. This is a Tuscarora 50 crowd. 46 cars is unbelievable. I love this place- I met my wife here."
@LanceDewease
who earned $925 for getting the hard charger going 16th to 4th!
The amount of respect that the fellow racers have for Lance Dewease & the love from fans in central PA is something special. Really just have to appreciate what Lance, Donnie & Davey Brown Sr are doing in the twilight of their careers

I drove through snow most of the way to

I've been going to races for 37 years & rainouts still aren't any easier the older I get. I still pout like I did as a kid when my grandparents would get on me about doing that. Someone said to me this weekend "don't ya get tired of traveling" & I said "no not yet".
WOW what a race
