Bloom Brings #19 Back to Victory Lane
In the Winged Economy Sprint Car Class, Scott Gannett led 14 of the 15 laps on track but did not lead the most important lap. In his always exciting fashion, Brandon Powell powered past Gannett in turn 2 on the final lap after Gannett got caught up by a lapped car. Gannett would hold on to finish a disappointing second after running so well all night. Jason Standley ran a solid race and came home in the third position, with Ron Wyman and Gary Koster rounding out the top five. Ron Wyman captured the lone heat race for the Economy Sprint Cars.
Ryan McDaniel jumped out front early in the Limited Late Model Main Event and didn't look back. McDaniel won the Main event by more than half a lap over his father Randy McDaniel in second, and more family Duane Cleveland in the third position, Dominic Stone and Matt Micheli would round out the top five. Heat Race Victories were claimed by Randy and Ryan McDaniel.
The Dirt Modified Main Event was a very eventful one as there were a few caution flags back to back to start the race. Raymond Benekowski would lead the first lap before spinning in turn two and collecting Ryan McDaniel. When the race went back green it was Jake Vantol in the lead. Vantol would lead all the way up to lap 12 when his motor would go up in smoke down the front straightaway. Thus turning the lead over to Duane Cleveland who would lead the final 8 laps en route to his first victory of the season. Randy McDaniel would recover from a mid race spin to come home 2nd, Dustin Massey drove a strong race to come home 3rd, Tom Purcell and Dan Dozier would round out the top five. Heat Race Victories were taken by Jake Vantol and Ryan McDaniel.
The Hobby Stock Main Event was claimed by Steve Hammett. Defending Champion Brian Compton tried to make the move to pass him but had to settle for a second place finish. Jesse Skidmore would come home in the third position, while Kyle Allen and Shawn Holtman rounded out the top five. Heat Race Victories were claimed by Kyle Allen and Brian Cooper.
