Another good night of racing with 27 sprint cars on the grounds.

-Joss Moffatt drove a smart race holding off a faster Gary Taylor. On at least two occasions Taylor made the pass for the lead but had to give it up because of the yellow. One of the passes came on a restart so Joss pretty much knew how Taylor was going to do in a subsequent restart. Taylor will win a feature very soon. Tonight just wasn't the night.

-Brett Burdette came from mid-pack to third by the halfway point but just didn't have quite enough to keep up with Moffatt or Taylor.

-Another good race was for 4th as Ted Hines and Logan Hupp as they exchanged positions on a couple of occasions in the last 10 laps of the race.

-Scariest moment of the evening was in the Semi when Mike Kennedy checked up right in front of John Race in turn 3 and Race went for a wild ride. With his arms flailing as he flipped it was a little scary. Last report I heard was he appeared to be okay.

-Good performances in the Semi by some local boys. Brad Stevens grabbed the win and made it look easy. And yes, Dwayne Spille raced his way into the feature with an impressive 3rd place finish.

-A little misting around the time of the semi up to the beginning of the feature but it never drizzled or rain hard enough to hold anything up. The Checkers waved at 9:00 sharp.

-Missing our kemo sabe Mr. Fishburger but after intense discussion with Mudpacker, RacinBabe and RichH we decided he had an acceptable reason to abdicate his perch (no pun intended) in Section A for the evening.

Time to hit the rack.
