Danny Wood takes Lyndon Moss Memorial $15,000 Championship
Mother Nature delayed the race from the original scheduled Saturday night event to a rare Sunday afternoon 1:00pm show. The hot weather which reached into the mid-90s didn’t deter the estimated crowd of 3,500.
Jett Hays set a torrid pace to start the feature. However, the wily veteran Wood known as the “Flying Fossil” found speed on the outside of turn two on a restart and powered to the lead. Wood survived a gallant effort on the last lap as Hays pulled even coming out of turn 4. But Wood had the preferred line and Hays was loose and couldn’t find the needed speed coming out of four as Wood took the win by three car lengths. John Carney II challenged Hays for the runner up spot, and came up a wheel length back. Wood took home $15,000 for the win. The largest 305 Sprint car payday in the country.
Danny had a huge shout out to his dash draw buddy Gracie for putting him on the front row.
Winners of the FloRacing Heat races were Kolby Walters, Jett Hays, Kyle McCutcheon, and Danny Wood.
