Champs - 6 cars Heat winner-T. Cobb
Top Five- K Cobb,Harless,Lambert
Notes- Should have known something was going to be up in this class from the start of the night. Scott Johnson's motor blew in hot laps leaving only five cars to battle it out. T. Cobb and Drew Harless started on the front. First attempt was no good so they attempted a second start which was good and T Cobb got out front. However, Clevenger went up in a cloud of smoke coming out of four. Thus having to have a third restart. On the third restart T. Cobb got out yet again. K Cobb was catching Travis by using the high side of the track. Coming out of four Kyle used the high side to pass Travis. They got together and Travis lost the front end b/c of the ordeal. Which brought out another yellow as they towed Travis to the pits. On the fourth restart Kyle checkout and had a half a track lead on Harless.
E-Sprints- 7 cars Heat Winner- White
Top Five-White,Huard,Stinson,Caudle, James
Notes- Talking to a fan in the stands before the races and he told me that they loved watching this class b/c the cars are so close to equal. Sturgeon and Huard started on the front for the feature. Sturgeon took the early lead however Stinson passed him to take the lead. There was two and three wide racing at the beginning of the feature. Taft and White were using the high side of the track. White passed Stinson on lap 4 to take the lead using the high side. White had built a half a straight lead when a caution came out for a tangle between James and Caudle. Both cars restarted on the restart White got back out and never looked back as he had the field cover. The battle was for second between Huard and Stinson who went back and forth for the position.
Mini Stock-6 cars Heat Winner-Powell
Top Five- Powell,Burger,Stauffer,Caraveau
Notes- Two new mini stock this week. However, they went home before the feature. Caraveau and Stauffer on the front for the feature. Stauffer got out early but Powell took the led coming off of 4. Powell was the leader the entire race. Bruger had a tough time getting passed Stauffer for position during the feature. When Burger finally got past there not many laps left. He was trying to pass Powell on the bottom side of four but never could get the pass to stick. he was hitting his rev chip going down the front straight. On the last lap of the feature Powell and Burger were side by side the entire time. However, Powell came away with the win.
Pro/Street- 12 cars Heat Winners- Goodnight, Reed
Top Five- Goodnight,Wolfe,Tucker,Gordon,Allen(welston)
Notes-Webber and Wolfe started on the front of the A.Wolfe got out to the early lead using the high side of the track. There was three wide racing at the beginning of the feature. The yellow flag came out on lap three for a Dixon spin. On the Restart Wolfe was out however Goodnight was all over him. It was side by side racing until lap 6 when Goodnight took the lead. Goodnight never really was bothered most of the night after the pass. The race was for positions 2 though 5 and the cars were back and forth all night.
My thoughts- Races got done at 11:42. Remember they started at 8:30. I am still seeing new cars coming out and try their hand at Brill's. For heat races the track looked perfect. Although, by feature time the track started to get dusty. But, the racing was still excellent. The quality of cars and drivers are much better than the car count says. The crowd was pretty good for an 8:30 start. There were three kid sprint there tonight and Osborn took the win with them.
