Billy "The Kid" Ogle is in the Hospital with Stomach Problems. Get Well "Kid" from the Fans at TAZEWELL SPEEDWAY. Now on to the action at THE TAZ in late model action it was #38 John Thompson and #52 Scott Sexton on the front roll. At the drop of the green Thompson jumped in to the led, but before a lap was completed Sexton has a RR tire go flat. With no laps on the board, it was a complete restart.

Turn 3 is the biggest bank on the outside of the track. Brooks landed on his top, but his MasterSbilt done it job as Brooks got up and walked back up the side of the field and back on to the track. Unhurt but I'm sure he will we a little sore for a few days, as it was a scary site as the race was red flagged at this point to check on Brook. The restart remanded the same on the restart. Lap 13 Caution for debris in turn 3. Lap 20, #3 Steve Smith who started 15th passed Longmire on the front stretch for 5th place. Smith and Longmire had been racing side by side for several laps.

Track official sent Hodges to the back thinking he was involved in the insendent, Hodges didn't want to go to the back of the field and was black flagged. Later Houston told track officials that Hodges had not touched him. Just goes to show you that we all make mistakes and that there are some honest people in racing.
