Fan Appreciation Night quite the show..........

If you were one of the many fans there last night, you were witness to one of our rougher race nights we have seen this year. You would have thought there was a full moon last night, as the racers were in the trenches last night battling it out for every spot on the track. The clean up and tow truck guys were kept busy last night, but thankfully, did an outstanding job in getting things cleaned up quickly and efficiently.

Late Model:

Heat # 1 was won by Ricky Rump
Heat # 2 was won by Kenny Baird
The feature race took a little longer than usual to finish as it was a caution filled race and even once went red. There was an issue with a broken switch on the caution lights which went red and then caused some confusion as some cars stopped and others kept racing. Thanks to Scotty who installed a new light switch quickly and the racing resumed. Tempers ran a little hotter than usual and when things got settled back down, Ricky Rump and Kenny Baird made the final dash for the checkered. You could have flipped a coin to predict who was going to be in the lead at the checkered, as they went back and forth until Kenny Baird took the checkered. Ricky Rump finished second with Dave Baldwin a respectable third.

Thunder:

Heat # 1 was won by Greg Ogilvie
Heat # 2 was won by Dave Stinson
The feature race was won by Greg Ogilvie, Ken Sproule second and a good showing by Bruce Baldock for third. The night saw some good bumping and grinding all night long and there will be some hammers used this week to bang some dents out.

Legends:

The Legend class results were once again swept by Kevin Foisy, who made a last minute flight up from North Carolina to take in Capital City Speedway. Kevin was there racing  and showing his superior driving abilities to some our neighbours down south. Kevin was there recently for the Summer Shootout held June 13th and 14th, and finished with the fastest time in qualifying and won the poll. Kevin then went on to win the feature. The next day he repeated the first day and won the feature as well. Kevin was interviewed by Speed TV for a fall program.

 Matt Haufe finished second with Chad Windsor, our current points leader, finishing a close third.

Mini Stock:

Heat #1 was won by Casey Cavanagh.
Heat # 2 was won by Shawn Ethier
The feature was won by Quincy Roberts who has rebounded from last week and has taken his first checkered flag in this class. The class act of the evening award goes to # 49 Casey Cavanagh and # 03 Chris MacDonald. Casey and Chris ended up in the wall together with Casey on the hook to the pits, and Chris not in much better shape. Things in the pits after something like that can be strenuous at the best of times, especially when there is some car carnage. I wish I had been there to see it, but the way it was explained to me was they both got out of their cars, walked over to each other and gave each other a hug. I am sure that it was a quick man hug, but a hug none the less. Sorry I need a moment..................... That, my friends is what racing is all about. Congratulations to both of them for showing us all how it should be done.


 Four For Fun:

Heat # 1 was won by Jason Moss
Heat # 2 was won by Mike Atwill.
The feature was won by Brooke Cordick who won her first feature of the year. I expect she might take a few more with the way she was driving last night. Even in the no contact Four For Fun Class there were a few bumps and bangs last night.
