Glad to see Ross Kenseth getting a chance in ARCA. He deserves the shot after all of his late model successes.

I usually have Thursdays off, but since they've started airing these races... I work.

I will say if you like the idea of ARCA's other races getting TV coverage, email NBC Sports Network and tell them you like the coverage, or get on Twitter and tell them. These 4 races are a test, if they get enough positive feedback, maybe they'll do more next year.

Anyone see last night's Springfield broadcast?

As far as the final restart is concerned: Kovski getting penalized was easily justified, Fike however was iffy at best.

Yeah, that was a shitty call.

Does ARCA not have the ability to wave off a restart? That would have been the best way to handle that, I thought. But once Kovski took off, and finally Poole took off, Gallagher still hadn't gone yet and by then the green had to have been out. I don't see how Fike should be penalized, but that was a shitty deal for Spencer, I think he easily could have won that.

Late in the first practice, the top of the speed charts is very tightly bunched. The top 7 cars are separated by less than 1/10th of a second. Spencer Gallagher is the fastest car so far.

Justin Boston was the fastest in final practice after knocking Ross Kenseth out of the top spot with just seconds remaining in the session.

ARCA Trucks @ Kentucky

They ran heat races for the first time I can remember, and it wasn't bad. Had a little drama after the race, with one team owner saying some not-so-nice things to another's wife. Had the series director and three cops in the garage area after the race.
