How do any of you know that Dupuis didn't just get sideways off the corner? I think you might find out that is what happened Dupuis does not normally drive like that so i would tend to think it was a racing accident.

I agree, Dupuis wasn't the only car getting loose of the corner. A lot of drivers were complaining the sealer was coming off the track. It was like driving on marbles on the outside.
You could see a cloud of debris come off any car that went to the 2nd lane and every car that drove in deep and rode up couldn't get back on the throttle. I think that's why there were so many cars spinning off 2. I looked a a lot of cars after the show and the rads were full of something other than rubber and oil dry.

Of cousre Dupuis could have been running 4" of stagger.

Will Cole Pearn be in his Delaware car for the last 2 MAARA races, or will he have an ASA-spec car like Pete Vanderwyst?

I agree the sealer may have contributed. However, the incident involving Kennedy and Dupuis happened on the straightway, and not coming out of the corner. Ron Sheridans first lap spin was out of the corner and may have been sealer related. Sean Dupuis usually is calm and a clean driver, but their usually isn't $10,000 on the line. I dont believe Kennedy, nor Dupius had anything for Pearn, Vanderwyst, or Hanley, but again these guys were racing for the 4th spot. which likley had a difference of $5 dollars in payout.

I can't help but notice that over on the Inside Track News Blog, there's 10 different PR releases about the Cayuga race, a report about ALSTAR, but not a mention of Delaware. Nothing in the Free Press either.

Did we do something to push these guys away?

(tried to comment over there but it wouldn't recognize my password...don't need the hassle)

I don't know about the Free Press except that maybe they didn't consider this event to be as significant as the Cascar version of the Delaware Labour Day race, but Inside Track usually relies on the tracks to send in their event press releases. There are a bunch of releases on the IT blog because they are mostly team releases. Teams submit them and Greg posts them accordingly and I'm guessing that he was at Cayuga rather than Delaware himself.
At any rate, this version of the "Great Canadian 300" (which was not truly a "300" just like Cascar's traditional Delaware Labour Day "500" wasn't really a "500", but I digress...) may not have been considered quite the "event" that the Cascar weekend had become. From Shadowracer's excellent race reports and the other comments in the thread I get the impression that it was really more of an expanded Delaware Friday night type of thing than anything else, not that that's a bad thing by any means beyond the possibility that maybe expectations were a little hyped.
I am curious though, what was the audience count like? I know the Cascar draw had slipped in the last two or three years, but was still well in excess of 5,000, if not closer to 10,000 (and I was part of a few of the 12,000 to 14,000 strong crowds that Cascar pulled at Delaware on LD not so long ago), but did the attendence on this past Sunday rival those numbers? I didn't make it to either race so I can't comment on details, but I would love to get a reasonably accurate estimate of the fan turnout at both events. After all, a big part of this game is showbiz and how many bums a show puts in the seats counts for more than a little. The "Big Picture" and all that, ya know?! 😉
