A few notes. Tough night for the Truckers team. Cottle got sideways in turn two in the first heat and Clayton clipped him trying to get around. On the restart Clayton was on Cottle's rear bumper and got Cottle sideways never letting off the gas until Cottle spun. Officials sent Clayton to the pits. After winning the semi Clayton got on his head on lap two bringing out the red. He was ok and apparently little damage to the car. Teammate Thomas Meseraul was doing fine finishing 2nd in his heat and drawing third starting spot in the main. He actually took the lead from Cottle one lap after the restart after Brandon Petty broke but that was negated when the red came out for Clayton. He stayed in 2nd for a while and looked as though he might have something for Cottle but later started slowly going backwards winding up around 7th or 8th. I liked the slight change in the Truckers paint scheme. And it was good to finally meet Cindi Whiteside who posts here frequently. Paul Hazen started work on his second 50 years owning a sprint car. Shuman got him a fourth in the feature. Scotty Weir, in the Monte Edison 10e, was penalized two spots in the semi for lining up in the wrong place but recieved a provisional to make the feature anyway. Ryan Pace, back from his injuries in the family #44, looked good.
