First I would like to say Thank You to Delaware Speedway for hosting the WMT and I look forward to going back in 2012.
The Canadian Fans were just great with so much enthusiasm and optimism about the race with the Modifieds at Delaware Speedway. The American fans sure could take a few pointers from our neighbors from the North.
The Track is not 4 Hours from the border. It's less than 2 1/2 Hours from the border.
The Canadian Fans had two of their own to cheer for with D.J. Kennington and Cole Powell running Modifieds for the first time. Cole Powell will run the WMT full time in 2012.
Delaware looks and races like a short track, but bigger @ a half mile. It's a 1/2 mile Riverhead Raceway. It's the best of both worlds.
The race was one of the best of 2012. Lots of passing. Two grooves. Side by side racing. Passing high and low. A ton of action. Drivers mad at each other. A Modified fans dream of a race.
A lot of the Canadian fans I talked to said they never saw two grooves at Delaware Speedway before and the Modifieds used the two grooves and then some. With 3 wide passes on the tight 1/2 mile track.
I know the crying already started about a month ago about this race with two of the biggist crybaby's skipping this race. Remember how many tracks we passed on our way to the Canadian track that are not interested in running the Modifieds anymore. If they run the Modifieds they do not want to pay them anything. There was crying after the race from some of the Tour Teams, but if you look at the rundown the ones that didn't run well are crying the loudest. I didn't see any crying about traveling 12 hours to Martinsville and racing in front of 500 people. We can't run Stafford every week and watch follow the leader with no passing.
This is a new venue and Modified racing needs new venues. Every Modified team out there should be supporting any new venue that we have and any fan base and track that will have us. After watching the race @ Delaware all I could think about is rough and tumble Lancaster Speedway. What a great WMT race we could have at that Speedway. Can anyone make that happen ?
A big Thank You to Delaware Speedway, all of the Canadian fans, Whelen, all of the Modified Teams, Owners, Drivers and Crew members for supporting this race. I look for this race to become an annual event on the WMT schedule. It was a great day and a GREAT RACE.
