REDEMPTION for MICHELLE MELTON in 360C.I. SPRINT CAR BANDITS COMPETITION at GRAYSON COUNTY SPEEDWAY!

The SPRINT CAR BANDITS THANKS Grayson County Speedway, their FANS & WORKERS for hosting the SCB Series on Saturday, May 12th!

Here are quick results, pics and some notes. Official results and points will be posted in the days to come - AND DON'T MISS the next Sprint Car Bandits event, which is a doubleheader, coming to 81 Speedway in Wichita, KS on May 26th-27th (Sat/Sun of Memorial Day) - complete details are posted at SprintCarBandits.com

First off, lets do a 30-second rewind from the 2017 SCB event at GCS to set the stage for last night's action:

(Sept. 16, 2017) Michelle Melton did a masterful job being up-on-the-wheel in heat race #1 when another car snap-spun directly in front of her, and she went from full speed to instantly swerving to miss the fracas and getting the car whoa'd down as best as possible. Her car hit the outside retaining wall and ended up not being able to rejoin the heat race, but her cat-like reflexes kept the car from being completely destroyed - it was that close to turning into a yard sale in corner one.

Shifting ahead to last night’s event:

The proverbial monkey was lifted off Michelle’s back last night at GCS, as she would earn the second highest points total of the night and start on the outside front row – and take the eventual victory in her PRO-TECH Services sponsored sprint car.

Congratulations again to Michelle, we are thrilled to see you in the Sprint Car Bandits series victory lane picture, topping the 20-car feature event.

Michael Day battled back from mechanical woes at the last SCB event, and started 5th in the feature race, coming home in second, and extending his Series points lead.

Third place finisher Kyle Jones had another solid SCB performance, starting 4th and finishing 3rd; while 2-time SCB series champion Michael Lang would drive the wheels off his FixYourGenerator.com lang14.com sprinter coming from 15th to finish in 4th. Series newcomer Russ Fletcher would start 8th and would round out the top 5. The complete finishing order is attached as a picture file on our Sprint Car Bandits website and Facebook pages.

I can’t stress enough what an AMAZING transformation that has taken place at Grayson County Speedway! Mark and his staff have literally rebuilt the facility from the ground up...from walls, fence, bank, stands, sound system, buildings, parking area...it is truly a sight to be seen. As in 2017, The FANS came out in droves to see the Sprint Car Bandits, thank you again for your support!

We look forward to coming back to GCS on September 15th, so if you’re a fan or race team that’s yet to check the facility out, please make plans to do so!

SPECIAL THANKS to Mike Petty Photos for being on hand and providing us with great images. Mike will have a bunch posted soon, so check out his Facebook page when you get the chance.

Looking forward, here’s what’s on tap next for the Sprint Car Bandits:

Final Sprint Car Bandits vs. NCRA Showdown for 2018 is at 81 Speedway’s SPRINT CAR MAYNIA – May 26th & 27th!

Mesquite, TX (05/10/18) by DarinShort.com. The Texas-based 360C.I.

There is no driver entry fee, no series membership fee and just a $15 nightly draw fee.

The Sprint Car Bandits will co-sanction this event with the NCRA Sprint Car Series, forming the final Showdown between the two series in 2018. On April 28th the two series squared off at Southern Oklahoma Speedway in exciting event, that left fans commenting for days how much they enjoyed the racing program.
