Brent I believe that may have been Sprint Bandits TNT races 2006 @ East Bay your talking about.
I was there also, and remember Roger too.

Was always great to see Roger lift the front end of a sprint car off of the ground using the front bumper and doing curls!! Last time I saw him do it was in 2003 at the Mopar Million with his ride in Jamie Millers car. He was 55 then!
