These Nationals have the feel of Knoxville and the Chili Bowl both. Big crowd, lots of folks having a great time. Beads in the crowd, frisbies, hugh car counts, over a 150 cars between three classes. Plus one of the best facilities you will ever go to. My wife said, "the nicest rest rooms at a track she has ever seen".

With all the weather in the area from Wednesday thru Friday the track was really heavy. In the first 305 heat race a car flipped into the 1st turn fence making for a 1 1/2 hour delay to start things off. On the second lap of the 305 A-Main another car flipped in the same area, another 1 1/2 hour delay.
Around midnight to 1 a. m. fog started to appear over the track. As the cars ran around the fog started to settle on the track but not enough to halt the races.

Making his debut in a 305 sprint Brady Bacon showed the rest of the guy's the way around the 3/8's mile track in a winning style.

Starting 7th Danny Crane worked his way to the front of the A-Mod A-Main for the win.

The LOS-WOW 360 Nationals started off with a bang with two lead changes in the first two laps. Forrest Sutherland and Jack Dover managed the feat passing each other on consecutive laps.

Dover would do a big wheelie down the front straighaway and blow a tire and turn the lead over to Brady Bacon.

Bacon would lead till late in the race when he gets involed with a lap car. The incident would also take out 2nd place Mark Shirshekan.

Josh Fisher would inherit the lead with five laps to go. Tony Bruce jr. came from 15th to 2nd but never got a good run on Fisher in the last five laps.

Thanks to everyone at Lake Ozark Speedway. Enjoy.
