If the 47 car field at Gas City last night is indicative of what is in store for the rest of the year then USAC sprints will have a banner season. Kudos, too, to USAC and Jiggs for pushing back the 2nd modified B Main to get the sprint car feature on the track. Having the feature over at 10:25 after not starting the first heat until 8:05 showed great effort on the part of both USAC and Jiggs to keep the show moving. Two weeks in a row now we have seen a great charge from the back in the feature. Last week it was Steve Ott coming from 16th to 2nd. Last night Dave Darland came from 23rd to 5th. The non qualifiers race looked like a mini feature with Casey Shuman, Matt Westfall, Billy Puterbaugh, Brady Short, Matt Neely, Tracy Hines, Dakoda Armstrong, Brad Kuhn, Travis Welpott, and Critter Malone all missing the top 32 cut for the heats! Malone had a real rough night as he spun on both qualifying laps and couldn't transfer out of the NQ race to the heats. Another good showing for Joshua Clemons as he timed 24th quick and transferred to the Feature with his 3rd place finish in the 4th heat. No small feat making the main on this night. Forty-two modifieds on hand for the Wolfpack Challenge opener.
