If you didn’t stay for the NRA 360’s you missed a race of the year contender. Had a red 7 laps in and at the same time Cole Macedo had a radius rod come off running 2nd so went to the work area under red got it fixed and restarted on the tail with 18 laps to go. Macedo flew threw the field running his own line entering high side of turn 1 and cut to the bottom of 2 and was in another level with speed. Mike Keegan led the whole race and was under pressure from Phil Gressman in the closing laps going through lap traffic and last lap Gressman, Keegan and Macedo were 3 wide down the backstretch for the win and Keegan beat Macedo by half a car length. What a race.

Shows you a car knocking Dues off the track. But not the part where Dues idles around waiting his mark and then taking out simon almost parking his car inside the cockpit.

If nothing else, it was an entertaining night at Waynesfield. Recky Lewis was fast enough to win but he threw a couple questionable sliders on a couple guys that really detracted from what should have been an amazing 10th to 1st run. In victory lane he said that he thought the Dues contact was a racing deal, but he tried a slider and ended up dooring him so it was no where close to clear. The second one was Rylan Gray and on that one Lewis had a run down the backstretch to throw a slider but Gray decided to go low into 3, instead of backing off Lewis decided to push the issue and rooted him out as well. Alot of folks were upset about the pass for the lead but it looked like Hall caught the cushion and got tight at the same time as Recky slid him so it looked like it was closer than it was. Lewis was met with a loud roar of boos in victory lane but he was defiant. I think Lewis has some talent, but once is an accident and twice is a trend, I was not a fan of his methods on this night.

The 360 race was exciting to say the least, Cole Macedo was the fastest car on the track and was about to take the lead when a caution came out very early, maybe lap 7 or 8. Anyway, he had a radius rod bolt come off so he went to the work area to fix it and had to tag the tail. He made a great charge through the field to the point that he was three wide for the lead on the last lap only to come up short to Mike Keegan at the line. Oddly enough, when it has become a racing term to get Macedo'd by the aggressive youth, he made his way through the field without taking anyone out and still being aggressive. It was fun to watch.

I plan on hitting Atomic next weekend so we will see how Recky Lewis does there.
