Heat Race winners:
Modified Street
What a WILD START … almost as soon as the green flag dropped the RED FLAG came out!! Willpenny Smith, who was the pole sitter, tried to cut up in front of the #76 driven by Jay Grooms as they headed down the front stretch … BUT did NOT have him cleared … and the ACTION started. This caused a chain reaction as Grooms was pushing Smith, Trevor Woodard was pushing Grooms and while all the pushing was going on Smith was flipping over and over, with Grooms almost flipping over on him. The final flip left Smith on his roof … but he did walk away from this mess!!! This would sideline both Smith and Grooms for the night!!! Once we went back to racing it was Brian Vandygriff leading the first five laps but it would be Trevor Woodard with the final three for the win.
(1) Trevor Woodard (2) Brian Vandygriff (3) Jimmy Woodard

Jeremy Corbin led the first two laps but it would be Steve Maughan three thru seven for the win. The only two cautions both came on lap five, the first for Eddie Rhinehart as he spun in turn two and stirred up so much dust …. You couldn’t even see that turn. The second was for Phillip Hickerson as he spun on his own in turn two.

We had a restart in the Super Late Model division for a spin in turn two with Brad Glass and Tony Chaney. From a field of twenty-one we were set for great racing action and Ray McElhiney had taken charge at the drop of the green and looked like he was headed to victory lane until he encountered the lap car of Mark Gant (who was not watching the flag or listening to the race reciever) waylaid the leader as they came out of turn four on lap eleven that ended McElhiney’s night. The second caution also come on lap eleven when Tony Simmons and Tommy Tucker got together on the backstretch. It ended the night for Tommy Tucker and Simmons had to make a trip to the pits and return to take up the rear.
