I can't find the full results for Atomic Speedway from Friday and Saturday. Particularly the Racesaver's. Car count and full field run down would be great. Thanks

I agree with eatin dirt. I noticed the top 2-3 started staying evenly spaced while they all had clean air. A bunch of dirty air out there will make for a better show. I think the racing will be as...
