19 sprints. Scott Hull got a good draw and wound up taking it. Chase Ridenaur 2nd, followed by Shelby Bilton 3rd, and Ryan Ruhl (I think 4th). Of course, with the time of the checkered flag ~ 12:30 a.m., and the substances taken in (thank you, Adolph Coors, even though you are now owned by Molson) the running order might be a tad off.

Doug Zimmerman, long time track runner and past champ, was a no show. Ken Mackey, multiple track champ, had a prob in hot laps and had to pull out.

Michigan's only weekly sprint show. Gotta love it! Good opening night despite it going into tomorrow, as it so often does.

Not too many. Maybe two or three. But the thing is still there!

The crowd in the stands wasn't all that bad.

Read earlier Zimmerman has retired.

heard Zimmerman retired & one of his guys went to help Ryan Ruhl this year. If you had enough "substances" in Ya to skew the running order, I hope you didn't drive all way back to Stevensville after the races?!?!

Mike you forgot to mention the sprint car that hit the tree right below the tree house, the two sprint car fires under red, one that made Delong running fourth go change his left rear, the fight in turn four grandstands that was better the the fight on ppv.
And porky the push truck driver getting called out in the concession line for cutting the line. The guy wanted to fight him right there, even knocked Porkys hot dog on the ground.

Just a normal night at the "Battle Grounds!"
