"Tonight, he stood in the starting gate well and got away okay, but he really finished well at the end."

hello!! does anybody know what happened with ODF???? did he just have a bad trip???

He got away 5th, looked like he had trouble with the track, veered out a little but was coming on pretty fast at the finish to lose by 1/2 length to the winner. 10th fastest qualifier had a time of 22.179. ODF's time was 22.244. There has been a lot of talk about how bad the track is and there was a head wind of about 12 mph. Wish he had qualified.
