After the warm weather Friday night, everyone almost froze Saturday night. The heavy clouds made the light pretty bad for taking pics too. But, the racing made it all worthwhile. We only lost three cars from Friday. Christopher Bell had loaded up & left before I got to the track, Todd Plemons was broke & loaded up, and Chris Sheil broke before he could get on the track.
Heat one showed just how close the action would be as Tracy Hines, Brady Bacon, Dalton Armstrong, Bryan Clauson, and Cody Brewer put on a great show for the fans finishing in that order.
Area driver Patrick Stasa dominated heat two winning the fastest heat of the evening followed by Brad Kuhn, Kyle Larson, and Tanner Swanson.
Starting 6th forced Bobby East to really work for the win in heat three. After working by Darren Hagen and Caleb Armstrong, East was able to take the lead from Keith Rauch who finished 2nd with Hagen 3rd and Armstrong 4th.
CJ Johnson showed last night’s strong showing in his heat was no fluke by winning heat four. Zach Daum pressed Johnson hard the whole race and even got a nose in front a couple of times but had to settle for 2nd. Chris DeShon held off Gary Taylor for 3rd.
Fourth quick qualifier Kody Swanson struggled in his heat, but came back strong in the semi with a dominating win. The racing was close behind him with Jerry Coons Jr., Levi Roberts, Tony Rossi, Chett Gehrke, and Cody Brewer transferring to the feature.
Starting on the outside front row, Gary Taylor took the lead from pole sitter Brady Bacon with several drivers fighting for position behind him. Cody Brewer, who struggled with a sick engine all weekend, brought out a yellow on lap six when his car slowed to a stop in turn four. After the restart, Taylor continued to lead, but Friday’s winner Bryan Clauson was steadily working his way forward. After making his way past Bobby East and Brady Bacon, Clauson set his sights on Taylor. After trying to get under Taylor for a couple of laps, Clauson went high in turn four and took the lead on lap 22. Once in the lead, Clauson was dominant, but there was still a furious battle behind him. On lap 33, Kyle Larson spun and dumped it, but there was no damage and he was able to restart.
Clauson went on to the win followed by Bobby East, Brady Bacon, and Gary Taylor.
