It was good getting to the Big E for the first time, this year. It's good to see Tracy back at full strength. JCJ made a nice run, after the #69 had to go to the work area to fix a flat. But, the highlight of the night was watching Jesse Hockett's charge to the top 5, from his provisional starting spot. Went around some on the top. Dove down low to pass others. But it was a good, clean run through the field. He's always a hard charger and race in and race out, is one of the most exciting drivers out there.

Hard luck awards go to, obviously, Robert Ballou. His night started bad and got progressively worse. And Blake Fitzpatrick who turned in a solid qualifying run for his first time there, was running a strong second in his heat race, when he hooked the wall and went for a ride. And walked away, thankfully.

Were were out of there by 10:20 and it was a good night at the races.
