Always fun to watch guys you used to race with do well on TV - at least on Speed News. That wiggling, aggressive move he made to take the lead looked VERY familiar to me...

Very impressive. Now I wish him some good luck in the truck series.
And I hope Re/Max puts the clip on their website soon, I really want to see them on the dirt

It just goes to show ya-
Dirt is the great equalizer. It can make a good driver bad, but it won't make a bad driver good. Same with equipment.
Not a bad run at all for a guy who is competing against a team with all Winston Cup equipment, while Doug has nothing near that.
Doug ought to win one of these things one day, he's come so close. And I think had he won Sunday, it would have been more popular than Kimmel's win.
There were several boos, which I guess comes with winning all the time."For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's future, and we are all mortal".

He's a super guy.
And Keller is constant comedy to be around.
Incidentally, his cars are ex-Gibbs stuff from a couple of years ago. Not great, but not bad. The cars are actually good enough to be top-10 or top-5 ARCA superspeedway (non-plate) cars, but Doug doesn't have the bucks to run the superspeedway."It was actually fun, because you're back fully driving again in these trucks.

Frank is a super guy-none better.
However, had Bob Strait won that race, the house would have been up for grabs.
That's what makes these races so special-local guys can get some decent equipment, and run up at the front. It brings people in the stands.
Shame the IRL hasn't figured that part of the equation out."For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's future, and we are all mortal".
