We got the heat races in, but the sky opened up to a down pour. The races were stopped and rescheduled for first green flag at 11AM tomorrow. All the mains will run Sunday 8/2/15 practice at 10AM.
Another good field of cars and a fast hammer down track from the get go.
Three Cruiser/Hornet heats Heat 1 saw Ernie Sandoval #80 take off to an early lead with #1 Phil York and #7 Daysha Boelter fighting it out for second and third.
Heat 2 had Lena Duke #99 take off from her pole position and held off a very hard charge from #28 Gray Smith (current point leader) third was brought home by #26 Cody Sanchez.
Heat 3 was #75 of Jared Hensley pull off a big win over #97b of Justin Morgan. Third was #79 Travis Bateman.
Mini Sprints field was again very thin. Only thing of note was Gary Guinn #38 purchased the Travis Oldfield mini and looks like he will be running in that class. Winner was #619 of Lalo Saenz, followed by #72 of Mike Barnes and #22$ of Ian Stroud.
The Street Stocks had enough cars for two heats. We saw the return of Cheyanna Yates and R C Combs, both whom have been missing for a few weeks. The first heat was Ronnie Bell all the way, starting from his outside pole position. A strong second was M74 of Rob Mosley followed closely by 77M Camron Martin. Dan Gross Jr was looking fast and could have given Bell a run for the money, but he DNF for unknown mechanicals.
The second head hat R C Combs #53 and Cheyanna Yates #15 shaping up like one of their old battles, but something caused R C to DNF, That left Cheyanna showing her rear end to the rest of the field. Second was #43 of Dan Gross Sr, followed by a new driver/car #27 LLoyd Crain. Joel Duke started strong and looked like he would be the winner, but a right rear flat with three laps to go caused him to move back in the pack. R C and Rick Boelter were DNF.
The X Mods has a shorter field then their usual 20 cars. The did have two heats. Heat 1 saw Steve Bonesteel take off from his outside pole and lead all but the last lap when a very hard charging Todd Budlong #1X took over in turn three of final lap. Steve second and Clay Gossett #11x looking good in his third spot.
Heat 2 was J R Bonesteel starting on outside pole and running out to an early lead, but Dee Yates in #15 stayed on his tail waiting for a possible error, but J R was smooth and it wasnt to be. Mychal Lucero #1 was right on the rear of Yates for a close 1 2 3 finish.
The Winged 305 Sprints had two heats with Heat 1 going to Wes Wafford by a mile. The #77 of C J Halsey tried to catch him but it just wasnt happening. Paul Whitehead 12P was a close third.
The second heat saw #12 of Jerry Moser take off and never look back, Jesse Baker #40X in the Butch Box machine paced Jerry but could not get enough traction to make a pass.
Like we said. the Mains in all divisions will take off at 11AM Sunday 8/2/15, so if you have your stub come out and bring a friend for some great afternoon racing.
Ray you and Bob do a great job! Now with that said it would have been really nice to have been told that we arent racing sprint cars so I wouldn't have wasted my money coming back out here!!! And after Charlie told us we were racing!! They should run every one or no one, there are people who paid to see the sprint cars and now what happens to their money that they paid! Well Amarillo here I come!
Posted Sunday. Jerry, thank God I dont answer for Charlie Fagen. The Winged Sprints would have run their main today had all or most of the cars returned. I understand your disappointment. Try talking to Charlie and see what he can/will do.
