Flud, McIntosh, Ward, Mercer and Timms rack up main event wins!
A Class
Cannon McIntosh led from start to finish from his pole position start followed by Daison Pursley the entire race. McIntosh built a comfortable lead as he approached lapped traffic with Pursley in tow. The race for 3rd was very interesting between points leader Hank Davis, Shawn Wicker and Frank Flud. Davis won the battle for 3rd with Flud nipping Wicker at the line for 4th. The 20 lap race went green to checker after an initial caution at the start with side by side racing throughout. McIntosh, Flud and Ryan Mushrush were heat winners.
Junior Sprint
Ryan Timms came from his 6th place starting spot to earn the win. Point leader Joshua Gentry followed closely behind in 2nd with Parker Scheulen, Hayden Mabe and Journey Hunt filling the top 5. Timms took the win on the last lap of the very competitive heat race.
Restricted
Grady Mercer took advantage of his outside front row starting position to dominate the 20 lap A Feature. Points leader Spencer Mason held the 2nd spot until Gage Laney was able to get around with Rees Day Moran and Kale Drake all battling for the position. Drake overcame an early cone violation to take 3rd with Mason and Daison Pursley rounding out the top 5. Mercer took the heat win as well.
Outlaw
Cannon McIntosh was looking to win his 2nd main of the night as he led until the halfway point when Frank Flud passed him and led the rest of the way. Noah Harris raced with Kris Carroll and Riley Goodno, who made the haul from Iowa, for the 3rd spot. Carroll wound up 3rd ahead of Goodno with Brock Berreth getting around Harris near the end for 5th. Flud also won a heat with the point leader Hank Davis taking the other.
Sportsman
Lonnie Fraley took the early lead from his 4th starting spot and held it until Kayla Ward passed him on lap 8. She led the remaining 12 laps to win her 3rd main of the year and increase her point lead. Fraley remained in 2nd the rest of the way. Bobby McIntosh and Ryan Cody battled for 3rd for the 2nd half of the race. Troy Minton overcame an earlier yellow to battle back to 5th behind McIntosh and Cody. McIntosh led every lap to win the heat race.
Non Wing
Frank Flud took the lead from pole sitter Shawn Wicker at the halfway point and led the final 10 laps for his 2nd A Feature win of the night. Wicker settled for 2nd the rest of the way. Point leader Hank Davis, Greg Emeterio Jr and Cannon McIntosh followed to round out the top 5. Flud and Davis were heat winners.
