Track had high and middle grooves only most of the night (it's cool and humid here).
Gaunt led the first six laps, then Blake passed him and ran away until lap 17. Rickie said afterward that after the last long red flag on lap 17 that his setup improved and he was (clearly) able to run with Blake for a time. Late in the race however, he said he was driving into fuel spray and "going blind." That's why he lost control on the back straight in the final lap.
Tony Jones went up to the wall in turn two on lap 11 and got hit. No injury that I know of. Danny Faria barely made it into the A Main but came through to 6th from 15th. Other names on the track: Davey Pombo. Nick Faas, Showtime, Cody Williams. Lots of WS 360 and Ventura cars.
Big crowd. Good night for Chris.
