On the whole the World of Outlaws and the UMP Modifieds brought in the likes of Tony Stewart, Kenny Wallace, and Kenny Schrader to run on the dirt, but in the pit area you could walk passed Kasey Kahne, and possibly a few others so the fans were really treated to some super stars in the field of Motorsports. Who knows what the remainder of the week holds for the UNOH DirtCar Nationals at Volusia Speedway.

See you at the track.
