In Modified Street it was a mind game! As Leonard Bray #17 wrapped up the Track Championship last week after a protest, on the car that was leading the points was found illegal. Bray was to start on the inside of the front roll. Bray lined up and just as they were ready to pull out Bray pulled to the pits and loaded his car.Protecting his Championship from being protested or taken out of the race by another car. Like they say use your head. Almost the same thing happen last year with another driver. There is more compition in this class than all the rest.

a charm Smith took the led from his 4th starting spot. Lap 3 saw Rick Welch #18 touched the wall in turn 2 and England and Chuch Thode #m44b spun. Restart of lap 3

Powder Puff
It was time for the ladies to take to the high banks of THE
TAZ. They line up the way they pull out on to the track. Seems like Amy Younce has her game plan down pat.
Amy is always the 1st to hit the track, but I beleive if we started her in the back Amy would find a way to the front. 9 ladies, on the front roll it was #10 M. Collett
and #81 Amy Younce, in row 2 it was #06 Misty Fergerson and #4 Diana Moore, row 3 #3 Diana Cheek and #52 Rosemary Whitaker, row 4 #50 Tammy Smith and #3 M. Hoover, row 5 #94 Amy Dobbs.
