Loves Park, IL- After a mid-race incident sent race leader Alex Papini to the back of the field last Saturday Night during Rockford Speedway’s 63rd Season Opener, opinions have been stated and restated in regards to the split second on-track call made by officials. Some feel it was the right call, others think it was a horrible call, regardless the race resumed. An eventual black flag would end the young driver’s night and hopes of collecting his first feature win. The 2008 Rookie of the Year will return to action this Saturday night to prove his critics wrong and thank his supporters.
