(started): 1. Wright (1) 2. Blaney (3) 3. First lap

restart. Wright jumped out to a nice lead early before Mitrisin stopped bringing out
a lap five caution. Wright led Blaney, A main
(started): 1. Gharst (5) 2. Wright (21) 3. Moro (3) 4. R. Hall (15) 5. Martin took
the early lead and was approaching lapped traffic in the 20-lapper when White stopped in
turns three and four on lap five. At the time, Martin led Anderson, Moro, Gharst and
Rilat. Gharst and Mroo engaged in a torrid battle for third, exchanging slidejobs
and chop jobs. Moro was able to stay ahead by lap nine, when Alley stopped with
mechanical problems. Martin led Anderson, Moro, Gharst and a surging Brown back to
green flag racing. Brown joined Gharst, Moro and Anderson in a battle for second and
third in some of the best racing of the season. Gharst moved into the runner-up spot
with Brown behind him. On lap 18, Brown slid in front of Gharst for second, and then
shot under Martin in turns three and four for the lead. An ill-fated slidejob
ensued, with Brown's right rear launching the Martin machine into the turn four fence and
bounding down the track. Brown's sprinter suffered extensive damage as well.
Fortunately, no one was injured. Gharst inherited the lead and held off Wright, who
had been Hell on wheels the last seven laps or so. Wright's charge was enough to
give him the Night one point totals: 1. Wright 484 2. Gharst 481 3. Moro 474 4. Rilat 473 5. Blaney 469 6. Howland 467 7. 8. Young 448 9. Brown 445 10. Winters 442 11. Neighbors 436 12. R.

manual fuel switch before he could get going, relegating his start to the rear. Morgan
jumped the right rear of a slower Martens going into turn one when the green flag fell.
The result was a hard crash headfirst into the turn one wall. Morgan was uninjured, but
done for the night. W. Johnson inherited a front row starting spot after those two cars
were eliminated and led wire to wire. Dobesh was able to get around J. Hall on the last
lap for the final transfer after coming from the tail. Heat five (started): 1. Clint

leaving the lead pair to transfer to the B. B main (started): 1. Long (3)

Lutz, J. Hall and Houseman Jr., who tipped over. Cornell and N. Smith also got together on

On lap six, Hebing retired. Stewart was moving up quickly and by lap eight took the point for good. On lap 12, W. Johnson had moved into third and tried a slidejob on Allard.

Stewart grabbed the lead again, and it was one he would not relinquish, despite a white flag caution for Brown, who went up in smoke after having charged into the top five. W. Johnson had moved into third by then, and used a last corner pass to grab second. Allard was the hard charger, moving up 12 spots from row 11. 410s A water truck incident dumped 900 gallons of water in one spot in turns one and two, but by racetime the track was ready to go, though a bit heavy. Travis Cram (26th car out to time) set quick time at 15.140 seconds.

Mitirsin pulled away from Kaeding again on the restart. Gharst moved into third in front of a surging Droud. On the 13th go-around. Mitrisin got sideways in lapped traffic going into turn one. Kaeding who was following close behind couldn't hit the binders in time and slammed into Mitrisin, sending both ass over tea kettle. Both were unhurt. For the second time in three nights, Gharst inherited a lead and held on for the win. Droud had a nice restart, and Alley looked as strong as he has in awhile. Dobmeier earned hard-charger honors, and an extra $300, but good charges were also put on by W. Johnson and Allard, who recovered from a last place restart to gain a top ten. |
