Great racing tonight. A very competitive although tedious feature with 8 cautions and a red for a Thomas Messeraull flip in turn 2. He was ok. 47 cars on hand for the opening USAC National sprint car feature of the year. Brady Bacon was fastest in quals. Heats were won by Scotty Weir, Jon Stanbrough, Darren Hagen, and Jerry Coons Jr. Shane Cottle won the B. Blake Fitzpatrick won the non qualifiers event. Brad Sweet, starting 3rd in the main, looked to have the measure of Cottle early as he led the first 17 laps but, at that point, Cottle took control. Levi Jones made a few sweeping pass attempts up high and looked as though he might have something for the leaders but fell to 4th at the end. Dustin Morgan went backwards to 4th from a pole start but battled back for 2nd. Top eight was Cottle, Morgan, Sweet, L. Jones, Darland (from 23rd!), Weir, Ballou, and Stanbrough. Super crowd on hand as the weather was perfect, unlike last week's cold and wind. Great to finally meet Midgy.:thumb Good to see Mudpacker, Checkered Past, Jerry Shaw, Tim Watson, Spridge, Shortbus, and John Hoover (racefan20). Bryan Clauson a surprise visitor as well. Feature checkered at 10:25. Now for my anti rain dance for tomorrow.:kookoo:O:
