Sorry, I don' t know all the midwest 305 driver names.

Caution lap 7 for 22s, hit tire in turn two and broke front axle while running 2^nd. Red on restart as 55KC broke in turn two, and 5y, 7L, and 3s all had contact and broke in turn four as cars slowed for the caution. None were able to continue. Next lap red for the 0 car going over in turn three. Only six cars now running the race, and next lap the 70 into the wall in turn three. With only 5 cars, the race was cut to a green white checkered.

A couple other quick notes from the 360s...

R19 took the "Need For Speed" Challenge and earned an extra $100 for his third place finish.

87 and 15 were put to the back of the feature line up following a backstretch incident following their heat race.

Was this Tony Hargrave's first time at Jackson or has he been down there before? They really stepped up their program this year. In the past Tony used to race IMCA at Arlington and hit a few of the local 360 races around the Cities.

Stan Meissner

First time for Tony Hargrave down this season. I think I have seen him before, but then again, I am also thinking that may have been Al Hargrave. Either way, he had a sharp looking yellow #18 car.

Stephanie

I am a bit race challenged so far this season at only three shows but I've already seen Tony. Next week I'll catch some IRA cars at Brainerd.

Stan Meissner

That would be the man...easy to score.

Stephanie

Tony is a talented driver who races clean and doesn't wreck stuff. He kind of slipped under the radar because the IMCA cars don't get noticed as much as some of the other divisions. You look at some of the drivers who have come out of that Arlington and Redwood deal the past few years and it's pretty amazing.

Stan Meissner

If I'm not mistaken, the 20g of Chris Graf was racing the Jackpot Junction Series and raced the Jackson Nationals last year. He is another guy from that series that is looking good early on this season racing at Jackson. Neal Stevens also raced in that series and has been down.

I wish I had the oppertunity to get to see some of these guys out there racing so close, and yet I dont' know them. Some past guys that ran IMCA that have done well in teh area include Lindquist, Scott Winters, G Bakker, and Curt Lund. I am sure there are others, but those are some that I know.

The series is going to Owatonna a few times this year so I hope to see some of the drivers over there.
