watching the highlights and saw him spin and i was what happen there , you just don't see him spinning out (white late model) ""injured when a mud clod hit him in the face last night during the opening lap of the Feature at Eldora. He was transported to the hospital and treated and diagnosed with a shattered nose and some broken teeth. "" guess the track was bad only 7 out 27 was left running at the end

Saying that the track prep at Eldora is sub par is an understatement. I worked there with my friend for about 14 years. After Tony took over they replaced the person in charge. These 2 pictures are what the track looked like for the race Saturday. How would you like to get blasted in the face with a chunk of flower pot? Birdtracker

It’s rained continuously, but that’s a sad excuse for a dirt track with clay tile pots in it. Birdtracker

That is terrible. The drivers should all get together and boycot races there until they make it safe for use.

I thought Eldora was supposed to be a top shelf facility.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I believe Tony is probably a little preoccupied with a race team and a new wife. The guy in charge of track prep is not top shelf. Birdtracker
