Friday night racing in Bolivar

Another night at the races in Bolivar last night. I'm so glad Bolivar has gone back to asphalt! Last night was a bit disappointing though. It was supposed to be a mid-season championship for the modified class, which should have been a really good race. However, a driver who used to race late models at Lebanon when it was still asphalt and has been a successful dirt racer since decided to show up for the race last night, which had a $600 winner's purse. Of course, he blew the doors off all the drivers who have been there every week and won the money. He even passed inspection in the tech barn afterward. All of the regular drivers were very disappointed and rightfully so. The real race was still between all of them and not the one who was many car lengths ahead of everyone else. I think that championship should have been reserved for only the regular weekly drivers and not someone who hasn't raced there all year. My best friend's brother-in-law won his race in the street stock class though, so there was a good moment.
