finally on coming out on top. Dave Scott finished fifth in the race running
several laps with a left front flat.

row and Sam Conti and Jerry Fish in row two. Elaine Best was scheduled to start
third but made hard contact with back straight concrete during heat qualifying.

laps in the books. 56.7.07 Brandon Pierce, Mike Moon and Jeremy Williams tangled

Fish caused caution four. At the half way mark Marcy led Britt and Weilacher by
twenty car lengths. Bliss stopped in the pit entrance for yellow five with eight
laps remaining in the event. With six laps remaining Marcy’s cars had mechanical
problems for caution six setting up Weilacher up with the lead. Dennis Asel made
his presence known grabbing third as Britt tangled with Gary fisher. Chapel was
trying to pull into the pits and was struck by Eric Paulus for caution seven
with only two laps remaining. Weilacher, Asel, Britt, Brian Crandall and Gary
Fisher were the leaders for the single file restart. Asel moved up alongside
Weilacher on the restart and led the white flag lap by a nose. On the final lap
Asel was ahead of Weilacher by a car length at the checkers for his fifth win.
Ryan Scott started off the pole in the Outlaw Cadet feature and led the first
circuit with pole sitter Stan Davis Jr. second. Glen Slaney passed Davis for the
runner up spot on lap four to begin chasing Scott for the lead while Davis fell
into a battle with Steve Moynihan for third. John Cline brought out the first
yellow with a spin as he was being lapped. Scott, Slaney, Moynihan, Davis and
Steve Kania were the leaders. Kania moved by Davis, Moynihan then Slaney but

complete restart. The second attempted start was waived off by starter Mark
Matthews. The third start saw Garrett Mott and Les Lyon tangle. The fourth
attempt worked with Brad Mesler coming out on top with Ed Carley second and John
Lacki third. Mott had more troubles with six laps down. Mesler, Carley, Lacki,
Tackett and Haggerty were the top five. The leader fired too soon and was set
back to third for the next restart with Lacki now on the pole. Lacki became the
new leader with Carley second. Carley trailed by a nose on the next lap then was
a car length ahead on lap ten sending Lacki back to second with Tackett third,
Kyle Scott fourth and Haggerty fifth. Mesler spun then pulled into the infield
then edged out on to the speedway forcing a caution with 14 laps complete then
was disqualified. After the restart Bob Dorman running sixth slowed then spun on
the back stretch. Tackett was the next to suffer mechanical problems with
sixteen lap down. Carley was still the leader with Kyle Scott in second, Lacki
third followed by Haggerty and Tatlow. Debris caused a caution tightening the
field with three laps remaining. It was three wide for third on lap eighteen
between Lacki, Haggerty and Tatlow. At the checkers it was Carley, Scott and
Tatlow from dead last.

lap with Doug Ricotta second and Chad Valone third. Valone wasted no time
grabbing second from Ricotta then wresting the lead from Lobb one lap later.

Urban Andy Boozel and Ricotta the leaders. Lobb had trouble on the restart
ending with a spin in turn one for the caution. Urban was not second behind
Valone with Boozel third and Doug Eck fourth. Ron Maloy was fifth and Dick
Barton sixth. At half way Valone led Urban by ten car lengths win Eck was
pressing Boozel for third with Barton fifth and David Scott fifth. Parker spun
in front of the leader with seventeen of the 25 laps complete. Valone, Urban,
Boozel, Eck, Barton, Rich Gardner, Scott, Maloy, Ricotta and Darrel Bossard led.
Eck started to charge passing Boozel on lap eighteen and began pushing Urban
with Valone protecting the bottom. Eck faded over the final few laps and Valone
stretched his lead winning by five car lengths over Urban with Eck three lengths
back of Urban in third.
Dave Atkinson spun collecting Scott Gurdak, Al Brewer and Bill Southwell on the
first lap of the E-Mod feature. Greg Johnson was the leader with Dave Scott
second and John Boyd third. Boyd took control on lap two with Johnson now second
and Scott third. Ben Asel and Dan Sasso caused the second caution with four laps
down. Boyd, Johnson, Scott, Alex Froman and Dan Davies were the top five.

turn four for caution four. With two laps to go Jaik Halpainy stopped in turn
