Rahmer wins Opening Night!

[hoosierboy]

I think of all the sprint car teams, so far this year, the 20 car/team has been the most consistent around the area. I think Fred is out to prove, and I think he has, that the flying fossil still has it and show all the naysayers that said "time to hang it up" and "he doesn't have it anymore" after last season, that the old man still has it and he is still a major threat. Congrats Fast Freddie Rahmer on your win last night, and many more to come this year

First off congrats to fred ,but Lets not crown him yet. He did start on the pole. The most disturbing thing about last night was there was NO PASSING !!!!!!!!!! I am affraid these hoosiers are too good and its going to be lock down follow the leader on these big tracks. jmo

Theirs hardly ever any passing on the early in the year Heavy tracks. It'll get better

It was good to see Fred looking like Fast Freddie again after some of the slumps he's had in the last couple years.

I'm also glad that things are going well for the 51 team. If a split had to be made, it's nice when it turns out to be a win for both parties. May all of them continue to move forward and have success.

But most of all, I'm glad that we get to see the quality of racing we do week in and week out. There are fans in other areas of the country who know the ability of our drivers and teams, and would consider themselves lucky to have one chance in their lives to see the likes of Rahmer, Monteith, Dewease, Hodnett, and the list goes on and on. How many of even our mid-level drivers and teams, or even some of our young drivers just starting out would be in contention for track championships if they were transplanted to any other track in the country?

And here we are, getting that level of show twice a week! The quality of talent we get at our local tracks is like watching every race of the WoO or NASCAR, without the travel expenses. How cool is that?

Welcome back, Fast Freddie; welcome back, sprint car racing; and welcome back, fans!
