Duros Dent Works, Racesaver and Budweiser or at least watching it on the live stream you missed some really incredible racing. Two and three wide racing with multiple lead changes right up until the final lap made for a fabulous night.
There were no significant incidents in the preliminary events.
The final contest of the evening was the A Feature for the Duros Dent Works Racesaver IMCA Sprint Cars and was possibly the best race of the evening. Tim Fricke led the first circuit in the 62 with Tim Hilfiker’s 20, the 1B of Brandon Horton and Troy Sanford’s 12K in hot pursuit. Hilfiker took the lead the next lap with Horton moving to second after another circuit with Jordan Grabouski putting the 30 into fourth. Grabouski advanced to third the next time around with Gunnar Pike putting the 25 into fourth. Pike got past Grabouski 3 laps later for third. Sanford looped his sprinter in turn 4 the next time around to slow the action.
Grabouski and Pike both moved up 1 spot on the restart to second and third. Bobby Becker spun the 8B out in turn 4 after another lap. Grabouski took over the top spot on the restart with Gene Ackland putting the 14G into fourth. Ackland leaped up to second the next lap with Pike moving up to third. Pike passed Ackland the next lap for second. Jason Danley cracked the top 4 the next time around in the 4X. 2 laps later Ackland moved past Pike to retake second. There was 11 to go when Fricke and Hilfiker both spun out for another caution. Ackland grabbed the lead on the restart and Adam Gullion vaulted up to third in the 91. Grabouski passed Ackland 2 laps later with Danley regaining fourth. Becker and the 25A of Alex Davenport both spun out in turn 2 the next lap. At that time, it was Grabouski, Ackland, Gullion and Danley. Gullion passed Ackland on the restart for second. Gullion got around Grabouski the next lap for the lead but Hilfiker and Clint Benson came to a stop in turn 2 to negate his pass. Gullion would not be denied however and too the lead on the restart. Ackland got past Grabouski 2 laps later and Danley also passed him with 3 to go making the final top 4 Gullion, Ackland, Danley and Grabouski. This marked the 9th different winner in the 9 A Mains held so far this season, proving what a fantastic series the Racesaver class is.
