\Race Report & Results: August 23rd, 2008

Mother Nature was not kind to the race fans this week. We never got rain, but the humidity was thick enough to cut it with a knife. Speedway officials did what we could to push the program along. We had great door to door action in all classes.

Modified Feature started 20 cars but wasn't long lived under green. Coming to turn two Brian Shaw went in a little hot and looped it around collecting 4 others. Big Jim signaled the restart and all cars dropped back in line. When the green flew for the second time we got to see some great action until lap 5 when Kelby Simmons spun his car in turn three, he tagged the back of the field and we once again went green. It was on lap 10 that Kelby Simmons took it in a bit too deep and looped it once again bringing out the caution, this was his second unassisted so he retired for the evening. Come lap 14 Dean Rhoden brought out the yellow when he loops it around and was unable to re-fire in time to keep it going. After getting all cars back in line, Jim threw the green. The snake bit the 1M team of Chris Moore on lap 18 when he was running 3rd. This set us up for a green, white, checker with no more incident.

Street Stock Feature started 13 cars and went green with no incident until lap 4 when Dave matthew spun and kept going but Jeff Garrison couldn't follow suite and brought out the caution. Once restarted the cars were all trying to jockey for position when on lap 7 the car of Kurt Lodeke had to be retired due to mechanical failure. Big Jim called off the next restart when a couple guys got a bit anxious, but one lap later we went green. Lap 9 was rough on Timmy Snelling he looped it on the front stretch bringing out the yellow. Once green we went with great action until the white flag lap when Bob Simmons got into turn 4 a bit hot and looped it. We went to the famous Green, White, Checker mode and finished without further incident.
