I would have loved to see this race go another 5-10 laps. After Max's monster slider into 3 and 4 where there was a huge crater all night, then Tye goes by young Colin Grissom, meanwhile Baby Jack is flat on the move coming all the way from the tail of the field to finish 5th after he had spun in the exact same spot polesitter Dustin Ingle had spun in between 1 and 2, both spinning separate times on lap 1 of the Feature. Wow what a race this was for the Nonwings and a good car count of 28 cars on the night.
The Racesaver Winged 305's unfortunately was a low car count of 13 with only 2 heat races and no BMain but definitely put on a good show for what they had as the polesitter was only 14 years old and lead for approximately 5 laps or so before giving way to the eventual race winner. She gave him a heck of a battle throughout most of the race trying to regain the lead.
As for the 3 Stock Car classes...Mods 11 cars, Hornets 10 cars, Street Stocks 3 cars. 2 Mod heats and no Bmain. 2 Hornet heats and no Bmain. 1 Street Stock heat and no Bmain. Definitely not a good thing of having 24 combined cars in 3 classes but there was some good battles in the Mods and Hornets. In the Streets, Bill Lewis ran away or could have ran away should I say and eventually won the Feature fairly easily.
The entire program ran very quickly, no major accidents or crashes on the track. There was one incident in the pits and hopefully all is well with that person. The full program was over at 10:21pm EST. Despite very low car counts in 4/5 classes, it was really good racing and a good evening at Gas City.
Congratulations to all winners, especially Max Adams. This is the very track Max had his incident on the front stretch 2 years ago going into turn 1. In my opinion any time Max wins at Gas City it's a big deal.
