5 WEEKEND AFTER-THOUGHTS: The Valley, The Knob, & The Rock

Corey Conley got the win Saturday night at Ohio Valley Speedway.

1.  Race tracks really need to understand they are in the ENTERTAINMENT business.  I love Ohio Valley Speedway, but putting your first heat of the night on the track at 9:35pm is unacceptable. 

2.  On Friday night, Roaring Knob denied media credentials to someone because that person had "never been to the track before". We're talking a legit media member with full HD video services, etc.  This person called/emailed The Knob in advance and didn't find out about it until they got to the race track (a two hour drive). This, too, is completely unacceptable.

3.  I finally got a chance to watch Dad race Friday night at the 250 Speedway.  He won his heat, started on the pole of the feature, and was running second until the guy behind him beat his left rear in enough times that it cut down the tire.   

4.  Jimmy Owens. 'Nuff said.

5.  Huge shoutout to Rocky Owens on getting his first career Late Model feature win over the weekend!  Rocky rocked 'em Friday night at Attica, besting a solid field of cars that included Jeff Babcock, Rusty Schlenk, Ryan Markham, and others.
