The East Bay Nationals had a plenty full schedule but the weather was brutal thanks to high winds and cold temperatures. With that said, the Lucas Oil Nationals were again the highlight of the month long racing program. Weather had an impact as a make-up was done so no loss of racing in that division.
In fact, the only issue was the very last day during the Wingless Sprint Car Race on Saturday. This was the USAC event and of course this kind of weather inspires people to stay home and stay warm. Away from the tedium of getting to the track and suffer through the cold. Add the chill factor and one needs to cut losses and call it a day.
The Lucas Oil Late Model series featured the racing exploits of veteran late model champion Billy Moyer of Arkansas and his own son and namesake Billy Moyer Jr.
The event featured the return of Josh Richards after an extended illness in 2014. The event was captured and aired on Youtube.
Honest to God everyone but these nationals are a good deal with the weather notwithstanding.
Below is the site for all the racing action and the results of the racing that spanned a period of one month and by the end, everyone is ready for a break. The regular season starts this Saturday, so if you get the chance go out to the track and say hi to Al Varnadore.
