Even with Cooler air temperatures, Some Heads remained hot inside their helmets this past Saturday night! We have to start on the last lap in the HeyGlassman Stock Cars division. Clint Smith, and Justin Franz swapped spots for the lead off of turn 2 and in what looked to be a career best finish/possible win for Youngster Justin Franz in the 86 stock car was quickly dashed away in what appeared to be a kamakaze move from the b00b car driven by Kyler Kemp coming to the checkered in turn 4.

*Okay okay, calm down we are referring to the heavy rain causing track conditions to have more “Character” than some would prefer. *F.O.E Enterprises crew showed up early, operating track-owned tractors and tillers, working the entire pit area, all around the 3/8 mile track, and infield to get it all dried out. Then several of the “Army” showed up and packed it all in. It definitely was worth it for the 95 cars checked in for the four divisions!! Thanks KC,TD,CK,ED,RL,JT !!! • The...more

*The evening was highlighted by the World Of Outlaws Extreme midget series rolling 22 starters out on the Grid. With what was a smooth racing surface that stayed dirty slick throughout the feature it gave the young guns plenty of opportunity to trade sliders and make hair raising passes.  At the end it was Cannon McIntosh on the O’reilly Auto Parts Victory Lane scales. On the last lap as the leaders were crossing the double checkered flags a nasty airborne rollover by Peter Smith occurred in...more

*We will start with the World Racing Group ASCS Sooner series sprint cars. With many cars having trouble the night before the 9 car field still put on a show! Double heats with the second one inverted provided lots of winged action. Having local hero and crowd favorite Jeremy Campbell in a heated battle late in the race brought the crowd to their feet. When the double checkers flew it was the 10c victoriously celebrating on the front stretch with a Dozen Donuts to delight the fans! *The Allied...more
