MP actually started in 9th in the A Main after finishing 2nd in the B Main. Raced his way up to 3rd with 2 laps remaining when the car failed to take throttle on the restart. MP put on a great performance tonight even if the official results don’t show it. |

Is MP running an Esslinger??? Stanton SR-11 SR11x Team mate TMez lost his SR11x in heat race action and was changing back to a spare SR11 for Lincoln Park Speedway tonight. SR11x is a billet block and lighter than the SR11. |

Michael was going well through the field and was havin a good battle with Kyle Larson then with two laps to go on the restart he was in 3rd place his car just died and he ended up pulling off,they replaced the fuel system during the night so that could of caused issues.

MP qualified 3rd out of 36 in time trials tonight @ Lincoln Park Speedway. Young Money Kyle Larson qualifying quick time and new track record. This place has some big banking.

So how does this USAC format work? Larson in the B-main yet he starts 7th in the A? is it heavily weighted on time trials?

I'll try and explain as best I can!
1. Each driver Time Trials - best of 2 laps is their time
2. Heat races - drivers allocated to heats based on time trials. With a 36 car field there are 4 heats. Grid is fastest to the front with a 6-car invert. Top 4 from each heat transfer directly to the A-Main
3. B Main - fastest to the front - top 6 through to A-Main
4. Top 6 grids in the A-Main consist of the top 6 drivers based on time trial to qualify via their heat with a six-car inversion. Grids 7 onwards are based on time trial performance regardless of whether the driver transferred via a heat or the B-Main
The format can vary based on number of cars in attendance. For instance last 2 nights they've run two qualifying flights. Traditionally the car count drops off at Lawrenceburg so they might be down to heats that night with top 5 transferring directly.
Hope that makes sense. It's kinda hard to explain but once you see it in action it's easier.

Looks like another tough night at the office for MP, finished 15th. Not sure what happened again, was running top 5.
I think Larson had an off with 2 to go as well.
Tanner Thorston won from Seavey and Thomas jr.

Pickens spun on lap 12 and had to start from the rear,he was running 5th at the time.Larson flipped racing for the lead in the last 5 laps,he went up to high and hit the burm.

I'm looking forward to your description of Lawrenceburg! You on BT Tours or doing your own thing? On the BT Tours and loving every minute of it. Gas City & Kokomo are tied for my favourite track so far. Looking forward to experiencing Lawrenceburg, although the Sprintcar almost making it through the fence added to tonight’s show. |

What sort of dosh does a trip like that cost? I know the outlaws are a long way from Indiana, but how about buddy k for a look? Any chance? |
