More stories for the night.... Bradley Sterrett lapped all but one car in the Modified heat race, redrew a 5 for the A and drove away with it. This all happening on the one year anniversary of his grand fathers passing. An emotional night for the young driver im sure.
Super Stock driver and chassis builder Brad Cummings wore the 51t of Gerald Todd who passed away in late March of this year and firmly planted it in Winners Circle. Brad then handed the trophy off to the family showing his respect to the man. Im sure Gerald and Smokes were smiling for those boys all night long.
Track was awesome....the new bleachers on both sides are an added plus the old girl needed.
Sorry to hear that Mr. Todd passed away. I didn't really know him that well, but his family always was on the top row in the turn one area, and I had talked with them several times over the years. I did speak with him last year, and I could tell that he had some health issues. I was there when he won a feature race several years ago. I may not be correct on this, but I thought they said it was his first in twenty years of trying. He had such a smooth driving style.
RIP, Mr. Todd!
