evenings hard charger. Chuck Dillon and Mohr were 5th and 6th.

3 Jessica Soule took a wild flip out of turn 4 on to the front chute. The car
looked pretty badly damaged but Jessica walked away unhurt. On the restart
Brandon Wergin took the lead and swapped it back and forth with Cory
Hutchison. But Wergin passed for the win at the checkers.
In the 2nd feature Joe McConnell had the lead after 1 lap. But a first time

and stayed out front of a fast closing Austin Kurtzer for the win. Rick
