Aztec Speedway and the Border States Racing Series capped off the weekend with more cars and fans and some great racing last night. The Sprint cars added three more cars to make it more interesting with some extremely fast times recorded. Shon Deskins, in his heat race, just missed the track record. Back in 2010, Charles Davis of Az. set the record for non wing sprints with a time of 14.203 sec./83.644 mph. Shon Deskins turned in a time last night of 14.315 sec./83/042 mph. And Josh Grady was also close with a time of 14.315. Jason Grady and Nick Rael also dipped into the 14 sec. bracket. The track was fast, to say the least. And in the feature, Shon Deskins once again showed the way around Aztec Speedway as he captured night two making it a clean sweep of the weekend. Jason Grady was 2nd with Nick Rael finishing an impressive 3rd. Fourth went to Tommy Lee of Prescott, Az. and fifth to Josh Grady as his car failed him (mechanically) for the second night in a row. Sixth on back were: Larry Kesterson, Dillon Tanner, Chuck Jackson, Rick Johnson, and LC Kesterson. LC did not see the green as his car exploded a motor down the front stretch during a couple of pre feature hot laps. Rick Johnson hooked up with Rael on the start and his night ended with the front end bent. Jason Grady was up front until lap 11 when Deskins took over. Deskins of Phoenix, Az. lapped all but 2nd and 3rd place cars both nights. Josh and Jason Grady won both heats.
In the IMCA stock car feature, Steffan Carey proves again that he might just be unbeatable. Carey started 12th in this 25 lapper and worked his way through some heavy four wide racing to take the lead on lap 11. He never was challenged and went on to win his fifth feature in a row. Trevor Combs of Albq. started on the pole and showed the way for five laps until Larry Bradley got by him. Bradley surrendered the lead to Carey on lap 11. Second through sixth swapped back and forth for the rest of the race with Ron Brewer finally taking 2nd with Larry Bradley 3rd. Fourth was Skyler Heath with his third top five finish and fifth went to Tony Hill. Sixth on back were: Race Fisher, Jeramey Bradley, Allen Bradley, Michael Farley, Jerald Wright, Glenn Bray, Kelly Klemm, Josh Turnbull (minus the entire right side sheet metal), Traci Jennings, Travis Southerlin and Trevor Combs DNF. Samuel Sansoni had a strong car in the heat race but lost oil pressure and DNS the feature. Heat race winners were: Skyler Heath, Samuel Sansoni and Trevor Combs.
The mini sprints brought 11 cars into Aztec and showed what they could do with the wings on top. And once again, Jacob Johnston showed the way around but not before he had a challenge or two from a Santa Fe driver, Lalo Saenz and Spencer Hill. Hill was in front for the first 4 laps. Lalo did manage to put his car in front for a credited one lap but Johnston came back strong to capture another win at Aztec Speedway. Johnston set fast time for the night in his heat with a 15.401 sec. lap averaging 76.129 mph. He also smoked an engine on the final lap of that heat but obviously had a back up in the trailer. Taking 2nd was Spencer Hill with Lalo Saenz in 3rd. Eric Smith was 4th and Tyler Greer picked up a 5th. Sixth on back did not finish.....Josh Huish, Bradley Huish, Paul Campbell, Don Kruse. Heat race winners were: Paul Campbell and Spencer Hill.
The IMCA sport modifieds were a late night addition to this weekend's racing lineup. Only 11 cars showed up but put on the usual show anyway. Brian Carey (Steffan's pop) was on the point for every lap to log his first win at Aztec this season. Jordan Eddleman was 2nd with Darrell Cordary 3rd. Fourth went to B Baldwin and fifth was Freddie Brooks. Paul Miller was next followed by Jason Keeler in his modified, Richard Trujillo, and Jamie Garcia. Heat race winners were: Jordan Eddleman and Darrell Cordary.
The sport compacts only had 3 cars again with Austin Maxwell taking the win Keith Miller 2nd and RaNai Toler 3rd.
That's it for regular racing until July 11 at Aztec Speedway. Everybody have a great 4th of July.

Thanks Lynn for posting the results here on OvalRacin where I can find it. I am computer challenged and can barely find things on this site let alone any other site.
