Passing looked ridiculously difficult out there. Track position was king
for the most part, cars like the McAnally group that qualified in the
back were basically stuck there

McLaughlin led the first 90 laps or so, got passed by Mayer and dropped
like a rock. On the restart after the competition yellow, Cabre drove it
in deep and moved Mayer out of the way and held on the rest of the way
for his first career win.

Seemingly pretty disappointing car count for this race. Is there a
particular reason that a casual fan like myself would not be aware of?

@7 NASCAR priced them out of this series. They are racing for about a
$10k purse with budgets of national touring series. The only people that
can afford it are teams associated with Cup/xfinity teams

@7 About 10-12 years ago nascar started to kick all the mom and pop
teams of the east and west series to the curve because they wanted to
turn these 2 series into a full blown development series. We use to get
25-30 plus cars on the regular but nascar changed the identity of the
old busch north and winston west series.

@9 - I don't think it's as simple as that. Go back to the early 90s, and
you had the BGNN and WW sanctioned by NASCAR, ARCA, and the ASA, ACT,
and All-Pro, all running basically the same car (ASA used fiberglass
bodies, the rest steel, but they were otherwise pretty much the same).
Add to that the USAR Pro-Cup (Hooters Cup) in the mid-90s. Most of those
are gone, now - ASA folded, ACT now runs late models, All-Pro was bought
by NASCAR (the "Elite Division") and then cancelled, USAR now calls
itself CARS and runs late models. And even the K&N series is closer to
being late models than Cup style cars now.

So, for whatever reason, interest in running Cup style cars has been
falling for many years. Cost is probably a big part of it. And, perhaps,
declining fan interest in racing in general. Either way, late models is
clearly the future.

@10 I'd love to see a National super late model tour. It looks like Cars
and PASS are putting together good series, but series with all the SLM
Crown Jewels would be better than any other asphalt oval series around.
Then they could get TV/Sponsors and the drivers/teams would come and it
would have more of a 80's/90's nascar feel

Would never happen... but one can dream

They have cancelled the race at Thompson due to lack of entries.

Damn. If Brad Smith who has been racing in ARCA since 1988 had entered
this race, he woulda only had to beat 2 cars to tie his best career
finish of a 12th in 1988. And if he could just finish ahead of 4 cars...
get his first career top 10 ever!

Chase Cabre's first K&N East win came in his 33rd career start...and his
second win would come immediately afterward in start #34.

Ralph Sheheen and Parker Kligerman were the commentators. Heather
DeBeaux was the sole pit road reporter.
