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.

Hockett's story is one that is hard to believe, bent race car, motor change and for the big one he used his 360 because that is all he had. They worked there tails off to get in let alone finish.
