No. 10: “Sorry, sir. While we respect your patriotism and can see you’ve clearly painted a number on your car, we can’t allow you to race it.”
3 of 11
No. 9: Grant Enfinger’s in-car mopping technique is far more effective than Harrison Burton’s. He’s a rookie; he’ll learn.
4 of 11
No. 8: Either somebody on the PA system told everyone to hold up their phones’ flashlights for a fun moment under caution, or all the spectators tried to take the same photo at once.

No. 7: Derby is defined as “a sporting contest open to the general public” and let’s just say the No. 02 and No. 99 teams put the “derby” into “Dirt Derby” after the race.

No. 6: Todd Gilliland hops out of his No. 4 truck to retrieve a piece of debris from the track.

No. 5: Four-wide salute to the fans! Still, the track’s plenty wide. Let’s go eight-wide next year.

No. 4: “Respectfully, sir, I take exception to the events that have transpired on the racing course this evening.”

No. 3: The Big One at Eldoradega.

No. 2: When the race is stopped but those competitive juices are still flowing, you have to get creative to battle the competition. Like duster jousting.

No. 1: Congratulations to Stewart Friesen’s son, Parker, who stole the show in Victory Lane with his endless supply of energy. With the win now awarded to Parker (because I said so), it means his dad’s still searching for that first win. Maybe sometime soon, Stewart!
