Bradwell Is Bullish on Competition

The following excerpt is from Terry Lehnertz official race report.

The UMSS Traditional Sprints provided another one of their thrilling features, matching a season high of thirteen cars for the class that is in just its second year of existence. Rob Caho Jr. and Ryan Olson paced the field to green with Caho showing the way early. Caho, who tends to run a high groove, was leading a line of Johnny Parsons III, Lucas Milz and Olson around the bottom of the track. Meanwhile, Kevin Bradwell was throttling his #95 sprinter in Caho’s customary line, high off the cushion. Bradwell, making steady progress, got by Olson on lap four, and Milz two laps later. It took

another two laps to get around Parsons, who followed Bradwell up the track after being passed. There’s the old adage, live by the sword…die by the sword – and on this night the berm in turn one proved to be Parsons’ sword. On lap ten, Parsons was just a whisker too high entering the turn and the loose clay above the racing groove gobbled up his #12 sprinter, spinning him into the protective tires at the track exit. Parsons was unhurt, but the hit was hard enough and the damage heavy enough to end the night for the driver with a series best six wins this season. On the restart, Bradwell continued his high-side charge and shot past Caho into the lead. Caho immediately climbed the ladder to his comfort zone and would mount a series of challenges to Bradwell, each one coming oh-so-close, but ending just short. With five laps to go, Caho’s hunt for a line around Bradwell opened the door for third running sprint car rookie Ryan Olson to shoot by and into second. At the double checkers it was “The Rocketman” Bradwell adding to his sticker collection in front of Olson, Caho, Milz and Denny Stordahl.
