In the sprint car feature, Saturday became a very special evening for Colorado-native, Russ Harper.


The young hotshoe, who moved to Indianapolis three years ago with dreams of becoming a sprint car pilot, won his first feature in the class. Making the win even better was that his father was in attendance for the victory before leaving for Iraq in a week.


Harper's mother was just a joyous phone call away in Colorado as her son beat out a talented group of sprinters that included a second-place run by Shane Hollingsworth and Thomas Meseraull.


Mark Perry III led the opening laps as Meseraull touched wheels with Ricky Williams and was sent to the tail after the spin. Meseraull wasn't going to be denied a thrill ride to the front as he dashed ahead 17 spots in less than 20 laps to place third.


Perry and Carmichael Sr. were dueling during the early laps, wheel-to-wheel with Kent Christian slightly behind the leaders and holding off Harper and Kevin Thomas Jr.


Meseraull had quickly picked off competitors back to the front of the field and slid beneath Thomas Jr. into turn three for seventh behind Billy Puterbaugh. Thomas Jr. spun in turn four and collected Troy Link to bring out the caution.


On the restart, Dakota Jackson took a tumble off turn four to stop the field. He was uninjured in the crash, but his sprinter was done for the night.


When the green waved again, Perry jumped the turn three cushion and lost his grip on the lead as Hollingsworth got by with Harper hot on his heels ahead of Christian, Meseraull and Puterbaugh.


Harper had his teeth bared with the win so close in front of him and he flew high around Hollingsworth heading into the third and fourth corners. With Harper out front, Hollingsworth was charged with holding off Meseraull as Puterbaugh's night ended with some mechanical issues. Christian was chasing T-Mez with Williams behind him as Shawn Krockenberger in sixth ahead of Perry and Carmichael Sr.


Up front it was Harper who was flawless in counting off the final laps of his first victory. Hollingsworth was second ahead of Meseraull, Christian placed fourth followed by Williams, Krockenberger, Perry, Carmichael Sr., Justin Marvel and James Bradshaw.

Thanks Lloyd, you are O.K. I don't care what your Dad says about you.
