Five Weekend Afterthoughts 6/12/12

Dream Week:  Kurt Wilson of Wide Open Graphics dressed up like his favorite Eldora announcer.

1.  Okay, who had Shane Clanton in the office pool?  Anybody...?  Much like his 2008 World 100 victory, Clanton's Dream win Saturday night somewhat came out of nowhere and now puts him on an elite list with just four other drivers (Moran, Moyer, Bloomquist, Owens) that have now won both the Dream and the World 100.  

2.  It's crazy to think that there's only one Dirt Late Model race at Eldora between now and the World 100 ... and that race is the week prior to the grandaddy of 'em all; Sunday, September 2nd's Baltes Classic.

3.  As you know, I never post any of the pictures or messages I receive from fans (although all are greatly appreciated).  However, I've made an exception this time as Wide Open Graphics CEO Kurt Wilson (pictured above) had a "dress like your favorite Eldora personality" contest at his campsite over the weekend.  And who did Kurt dress up as?  None other than his favorite Eldora Speedway announcer, of course.  He even dyed his hair black for the occasion!  

4.  Bring on the Hell Tour!!!  Early favorite has to be Shannon Babb again, right...?

5.  Doug Drown will be taking over the wheel of the Sean Weekly #63 beginning this weekend.  Look for good things from this combo as Weekly has some pretty good equipment and Drown is one helluva driver.  Look for them to possibly travel around a bit more than Weekly has previously done.
