5 WEEKEND AFTER-THOUGHTS: First time winners, Attica, Pierce


1.  Attica Raceway Park continues to just pound out one great show after another.  36 410 Sprints, 33 Late Models, 28 305 Sprints, and a pretty nice crowd were on hand to witness yet another well-run program.  Doug Drown got some redemption for the previous week with a dominating Sunoco ALMS Late Model win.

2.  I love seeing drivers get their first Eldora win.  The excitement and enthusiasm is something you don't always see in victory lane at other places.  Kudos to Jeff Koz on his first Eldora win Saturday night.

3.  Another Chris Madden/Jonathan Davenport duel over the weekend?  Hmmm...

4.  If you're not a believer in Bobby Pierce, I don't know what to tell you.  He's good. Damn good.  And he's only going to get better.  Is he an early sleeper pick to win the Dream?  At this point, is it even fair to say he's a "sleeper"??

5.  Two huge shoutouts: First, to former UNOH student and driver Dwight Niehoff on his Late Model win Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.  Second, to the icon Bob Adams Jr. on his victory Friday night at the Legendary Hilltop Speedway in Marietta, OH.
