Cool to see @TannerHolmes18 make the A. With all the videos he does at the track and behind the scenes, he’s a great spokesman for the sport.

After watching the Kings Royal. @GWRacing_ @FischerMotor23 are due. They’ve been so close to that first @WorldofOutlaws win, and performing so well. Gained a lot of fans. Rooting for this team, that win is coming

Out of all the carnage tonight at Eldora, it was cool to see Tyler Walker helping another team out in the work area and getting them back out there. Great to see him back

Ending your program at a decent hour and having your pit area full of fans after the races is how you build fan equity for the future.
