starters. Hess took control on the first circuit with twenty-nine late models
giving chase. Hackett was second with Scott third, Eck Fourth and Terry fighting
Barton for fifth. Hess was into lap traffic on lap five with nearly a straight
away advantage over Hackett when the yellow flew for Ward Schell in the exit of
turn four. Hess, Hackett, David Scott, Terry and Hedman were the top five for
the lap seven restart and twenty-eight cars remained on the speedway. Hess took
off after the restart rebuilding his previous lead. Lap traffic became a problem
for the leaders on lap twelve then two laps later Randy Shearer slowed to a stop
on the front stretch for the second caution. John Volpe, Wendell Pinckney and
Chad Valone brought out the yellow right after the green. Hackett tested Hess on
the restart but could not make the pass. One more lap was completed when the
yellow flew for Ron Davies who made contact with the turn two concrete. Once
more Hackett tested Hess but Hess remained the leader. Pinckney and Shearer
tangled for the fifth yellow with eighteen laps complete. Schell was spun into
the infield after the restart for yellow number six. The race ran green for
several laps when Paul Briggs made heavy contact with the wall in turn one
bringing out the red flag. Briggs exited the car okay. Hess controlled the lap
twenty-three restart with Hackett chasing. Eck got out of the groove in turn two
on lap twenty-five and fell back seventh. Scott Gurdak did a rare spin for
yellow seven with six laps remaining. Hess, Hackett, David Scott, Johnson and
Maloy were the top five for the restart. Hess moved to the top of the speedway
and once more pulled away from Hackett and the rest of the field. Ryan Scott
brought out the eighth caution with three laps remaining. Hess ran the final
three unchallenged winning the $3,300 and all the lap money for his second win
of the season.
Justin Carlson edged out Al Crocker at the start finish line to lead the
first lap of the E-Mod feature. The yellow flew before the second lap was
complete. Nathan Short put Crocker back to third on the restart and two laps
later the yellow flew for Brett Van Guilder. Short and Carlson ran side by side
for the two laps before Carlson was able to grab the top spot. Jamie Earhart
stopped on the back stretch for caution three. Matt Swanson did a slow spin
collecting Kyle Scott, Vaughn Nystrom and Van Guilder for caution four and Troy
Carr caused caution five. Carlson, Short, Crocker, Ron Seeley and Chuck Frye led
after the restart. Carlson easily won the event for his tenth win in seventeen
starts.
Gary Bedow Jr. and John Kelsey brought the Spectator division on to the
speedway for their feature event. A ragged start was led by Kelsey and the
yellow flew for Berton Chapel in turn one on lap two. One lap after the restart
several cars spun in turn three for the second caution. Kelsey, Jason Genco,
John Galati, Glenn Slaney and Aron Dascomb were the leaders after the restart.
Slaney was third at the halfway mark with Kelsey leading and Genco third. Slaney
beat Genco into turn three on lap ten taking over the second spot and one lap
later Genco slowed as the yellow appeared for Doug Moore. Kelsey lost several
spots with two laps remaining setting Slaney, Dascomb and Rick Thompson as the
top three. Slaney ran the final laps unchallenged for his seventh win.
Rookie Steve Kania and veteran John Boardman were on the front row for the
Budweiser Super Sportsman feature and Boardman jumped to the early lead. Ben
Burgess lost the handle while running second allowing the entire field by on lap
five. Chad Carlson, Bob Hazzard, Aaron Robinson and Kania chased Boardman at the
half way mark. Carlson caught Boardman on lap eleven and as the leaders were
getting the two to go signal Rusty Briggs slowed causing the first and only
caution of the event. Carlson made his move after the restart passing Boardman
for the lead and his fifth of the season.
Bob Vogt Jr. led lap one of the Outlaw Cadet feature with Leonard Enos second
and Lester Shoff third. Shoff passed Enos with three laps complete then point
leader Mike Moore did the same one lap later. Vogt had a four car length lead at
the half way point with Shoff and Moore trailing. Moore passed Shoff for second
as Vogt took the checkers for his first career Outlaw Cadet feature win.
