MOWA - 12 Hull (from pole), 51B Joe B. Miller (from 7th), 99W Kory Wyant (from 5th), 05 Loyet (from 12th, thus not winning 3 in a row, a feat never accomplished in the history of MOWA), 52F Faucon (3rd), 17M Joey Moughan (10th), 9 Neinhauser (the only sprint car driver from Pike County, Illinois in how long, if ever), 47 Babb, 10S Jeremy Standridge. Parker Price-Miller in the 2 came from 8th to 2nd in his heat. In the feature, he checked out the first part of the race. Then he appeared to fall back towards Hull until the PPM's car died or got a flat or something. He DNF.
POWRi 71 Bell from 2nd, 91T Tyler Thomas from 14th, was on the way out and didn't put down any more. Sorry. 71K Ryan Robinson was looking good until involved in an incident. Austin Brown and Hagen looked strong also. No surprises there. Sorry to anyone I forgot. Bell had about 1/2 lap on 2nd until an incident around lap 20 brought the field back up on him. From there he just took off again. Some of his passes of lapped cars were pretty spectacular.
I had a good chat with retiring announcer Jim Childers in the pits earlier in the afternoon. I was surprised to find the real reason for his retirement. As some of you may know, he and Dave Letterman have been close friends for many years. Long ago they made a pact that when one of them retired, the other one would also. Well, I don't think that Jim was particularly ready to retire, but Dave retired, so Jim had to honor their long-time pact. Isn't it amazing what you can learn in the pits?
