Great Racing continues at Capital City Speedway

If you were one of the fans who made it out for Myers Automotive Group Night this past Wednesday, you were witness to the great racing that seems to get better and better each and every week. If you had asked me last week, could it get even better, I would have said No. I was wrong, as the thrills, spills and chills continue each and every week.

After 4 races in, there has been new feature race winners in all classes but one, each week since Opening Night.  The return of Ricky Rump and Spencer MacPherson made things interesting in the Late Model Class. I would like to thank Brandon White who came down from Montreal with his Late Model. Unfortunately, they had some issues and we not able to make the Feature. ken Baird looked like to run away winner until a caution brought the class back together for a dash to the finish. Ken stayed in front and took his first feature win of 2011.

The Thiunder class was just as exciting as Mike Hennick showed why he should win some features this year running up front until something went wrong, leaving the door open for Dave Stinson to take his first feature win.

The Legends feature saw some great racing action with Matt Haufe leading most of the race when Chad Windsor snuck inside of him and lead for a few laps before the pass of the night with two laps to go when Matt Haufe passed Chad to take the lead again. I am still not sure what happened but Matt Haufe ended up taking his first win ever at Capital City Speedway.

The mini stock feature was won by long time racing enthusiast Tyler Cavanagh as he stood in for Derek Lamoureux. Tyler showed why he is considered a driver as he lead from the pole to take his first checkered of the year.

The Four for Fun class saw Rodney Dingwall take his second feature win of the year.

The intermission race between Thunder Cat and The Dawg was a bumper to bumper race for two laps
with Thunder Cat pulling out the last minute pass to take it at the checkered. The award ceremonies for Thunder went bad when the Dawg took out his frustration on Thunder. The ambulance had to come out and assess Thunder Cats condition. Unfortunately, they could not do anything as they are not Veterinarians. Thunder ended up getting up on his own. Thunder said he has nine lives minus one now.
I heard from 101.9 The Dawg and they have filed a grievance with management because at the beginning of the race, I had to put Thunder's car in gear for him. 101.9 The Dawg said that was interference by me and caused Dawg to lose the race as a result. We will keep you updated on events surrounding this inquiry.
