1. Saturday night's 20th Annual Dirt Late Model Dream was one of the best races in the history of the event with Dale McDowell winning from 22nd, John Blankenship second (from 24th), and Jimmy Owens fourth (from 25th)...in a race that saw only two cautions.
2. Friday night's preliminary features were as good as any 25-lappers I've seen this season. The first one included a wild, lead-swapping photo finish between Rick Eckert and Brian Birkhofer with Birky edging out Scrub by inches.
3. If nothing else, the Dream weekend proved (once again) that car counts are vastly overrated. Most folks already know this but, with the weekend we just saw at the Big E, it certainly bears repeating.
4. Locally lost in the Dream hype was Matt Westfall's double down Saturday night at Waynesfield, as he won both the UMP Modified and Non-Wing Sprint features.
5. The SummerNationals are already upon us. Good Lord, where has the season gone?! Brownstown kicks off the 2014 version of the Hell Tour Wednesday night.
