I would argue Eli's drive is what made that exciting. The smart play would have been to get second and sit on a fat points lead. He didn't need to challenge Cooper, he wanted to. Hell of a race.

Webb is the real deal, props to Tomac.
I can see the passing of the torch in the near future!

yep, that was fun to watch. I can't decide if this was the best main of the year or Daytona? I think the lappers today added enough intrigue that todays Main wins for best of the year so far.

Wonder why ET3 pushed for the W when he didn't need to. Ralph said Webb was pimping on everybody earlier in the week . . . Maybe Eli wasn't having it?

Did Webb do a flying W early race in the whoops?

Congrats to to #3, #1, and #21

Hope Marchbanks is going to be ok

Enough of this arenacross stuff.. lapping to the podium is adding more danger to an already incredibly dangerous sport

Only 2 guys doing the big triple and Tomac and Webb doing their other triple combinations....that made for a huge gap.

When Tomac is comfortable no one is faster. Webb is the next in line. And he’s faster comparatively when he’s not having a good day.

It was a great race today.

Up until this year for sure, I think Tomac has been hella fast on his bad days this year.

Sheesh, really? After that amazing race this is what you bring to the discussion?

Guys like you usually bellyache there isn't enough tight racing.

That was a dominant display by two guys with mad heart and no quit. That's what we watch race after race after race for. This very thing.

This. Tripling through that rhythm section was a gamble and it paid off. It's just plain wanting it I'm not a Webb fan... Actually, you know what eff that...he's been on and showing crazy spirit, I'm becoming a Webb fan. But both of those guys want a win more than...well...clearly anyone on the track.

Dang , thanks for posting that link. Crazy they lapped up to 4th

Crazy Barcia was the only one even close to ET3 and CW1 when it comes to fastest lap time.

Dudes were on it today, what an awesome show of grit and talent!

The cockiness and smack talk make me not a Webb fan, but he definitely has my respect. Makes it happen no matter what.

Anyone notice Webb's demeanor right after the race after they came off the track? Helmet dropped on the ground, head in his handlebars. He was either completely smoked or completely deflated. Or likely, both.

What a race.

He was smoked and thinking: “I threw everything I had at this guy, almost died 3 times and he still beat me?”

In 2005 RC and Reed lapped Vuillimen who was in 4th and Reed was about a second behind larocco in 3rd on a perfectly dry track. I think we will be alright. It happens some nights when two guys get out front and push each other
