Perhaps one of the best ever in a Sprint Car without wings. One on pavement and dirt all across the country. Midget and Big Car wins too. 🐐

6/5-HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY to Norman "Bubby" Jones, who would have turned 85 years old today. Jones has 6 career USAC Sprint Car wins at Eldora. Jones passed away in 2020 at 79 years old.

@WorldofOutlaws @SJMRacing17 @HartfordSpdway Someone do a wellness check on @MI_Sprints

[World of Outlaws @WorldofOutlaws]

.@HartfordSpdway is 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗣𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗗.

Weather models showing a high chance of rain all through Friday evening including the potential for strong thunderstorms led to the postponement.

Officials are seeking a viable reschedule date.

This May there were zero Tornado Warnings in Indiana! This is only the fourth time since 1986 that this has happened. Though it wasn't completely quiet with 70 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings across the state.  Historically May is one of the more active months for Indiana, so seeing a tornado free May is a rarity.

@HighSpeedDirt_ @KnoxvilleMoths @WorldofOutlaws @KinserRacing @sprintcarhof What’s even more impressive is he won both ways, with and without wings. Really puts him in a category of his own

@bam_weather Not looking good for the Dream at Eldora

[steve Parkes @flagboy55]

@BobbyMarkos Kody has been the obvious choice to move to “big time” pavement racing for a long time. Somehow he’s continually overlooked. It’s really a travesty

@Daniel_Miller8 @angelaganote @IndyStateFair @hoosierlottery What remains a travesty and misuse of state property is no longer having auto and motorcycle racing on the Indy Mile

We’ve been lied to for a long time.

[Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger]

"60 Minutes" is the most prestigious TV news program in America. But a new review of the last 20 years of its reporting reveals serious inaccuracies and partisan bias on immigration, transgenderism, climate change, Covid, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, and more.

Lesson # 866

[Dan Proft @DanProft]

"Imagine your child-40 feet running for their life--and never coming home and then tell me why you're voting for these (sanctuary) policies."

Sheridan Gorman's mom's challenge should be put to every sanctuary pol--and their voters--in Illinois.

[FloRacing @FloRacing]

For some, it's a dream. For one driver, it will be reality.

It's time for the #DLMDream at @EldoraSpeedway.

Are you ready? 🔥💰
