Dean Hoffman

What a race!!! Wow, I didn't expect it to be as exciting as it was. I knew it would be good, just figured they would kinda lay back just a bit, omg was I wrong it was pedal to the metal, bumper to bumper side by side and PASSING the whole race from front to back. For the track stand point it would of been nice to of had a few more modified, but from my stand point just having the men that can drive a smaller track is all we needed for one of the best modified races to date this year. Awesome job Dean Hoffman coming from tenth to victory. And Chris Smith, what a great job!! From last to fifth and every great small track driver that held thier lines, awesome!!!awesome!!!awesome!!!
 
I agree w/ all what a race. anybody who didn't have the 1D as the winner on their card doen't watch him enough, always comes up big in a big race, had the first 2 on my card. question first to deb cummins, how many cautions? & 2nd what happened to Meavert, I thought he was going to run away with it then all of a sudden very ordinary. Another thing in the LM what was up between Moon & Schulte at the end? By the way the only way to stop the 6k is the dice throw.
 
Three wide for the lead late in the race... That's all I gotta say.
Awesome!!
Great racing all the way around. Tough break for the 24H. Sure would have like to see him still running in the end. I wish Aaron had 4 tires instead of 3.
I was hoping to see The elder Bittle back in a mod for one night.
Dean is the "Mr Smooth" of the Mods.
 
Missed the setup? That thing was a rocket! Looked like he just used his tires up too early. I had him picked to win that thing.

As far as Dean, I don't think you could asked for a more perfect plan. He turned it on when it was time and there was no stopping him.
 
A long race like that we should no a seasoned driver is the one to watch for... Sounds like I missed a hell of a show. Congrats to dean..
 
he pulled a true slide job brian had the choose to take him out or finish and you always have the cry babies saing he did a good job...well next time he be on his lid thank god brian is a different driver than he used to be lol
 
"The Bullet" should've stayed in a Mod,IMO....Why didn't he race the SLM on Sat. at Pevely?....THX....:)

Well, I'm guessing someone has to take place of dirt boy. Bittle has one three races so far and finishes well in the features. He is improving every week and will be in the winner circle sooner than you think. I liked him in the mods also, but he chooses to drive a late model now. So go have another beer.
 
Dam tony already replacing me or what... You ain't been bi-ching at me and jimmy is leaving me alone I'm going crazy over here lol. My fingures are trying to do one thing but I'm fighting em Bahahaha!!! Bittle looks good in anything he drives JMO. Sometime the learning curve of something new is higher then we realize.
 
There were 10 cautions in the 100-lap Mod feature. I can't tell you when they happened because sitting on the back side, we either didn't hear TTG tell the # of laps or he just didn't say what the lap count was (wish he would do that). 21 cars started the race.

This is what I wrote down...

Great job Mr Hoffman.......you put on a driving clinic taking care of your car and making it count when u needed too.
 
Another Knuckle Dragger speaks..WHO GIVES A ***** WHAT YOU THINK,AZZHOLE!!!!! Go back to mouthing dirtboy you TROLL....
Well, I'm guessing someone has to take place of dirt boy. Bittle has one three races so far and finishes well in the features.

Dean became the only driver in Belle Clair history to win a 100 lapper in a Modified and a Late Model. Good job, Dean.
