I got to the track at 3pm and there were still some sprinkles coming down now and then. When i walked past the track grabbing my seat, It looked like the track might have been packed hard, Although i couldn't really tell. I knew they had sealed it last night but that was after rains we had yesterday.
Well turns out there was a lot of moisture in there, but it was packed down good enough to widen out and by the end of the night it was to the wall.
Didn't know what to expect for total count but anything more than a full field is a bonus. I counted 21 and in fact Landon Simon started 21st in the feature.
If this race had been a normal 25 laps. LIGHTS OUT, GAME OVER. CLAYTON WINS Although Stanbrough had pulled along side several times. He just never got it to stick long enough to take the lead for good. He grabbed the lead on a lap nine restart but Clayton turned back under him in two and held the lead. He also was along side Clayton at a lap 15 yellow.
I can tell you this, Jon Stanbrough used every single inch of that track at some point during that race and even once was in the infield. Coming off of four to complete the 26th lap, He used a lapped car to trap Clayton and ducked under to grab the lead before getting back into turn one. Clayton Cowboyed that cushion the whole race, only coming off it when lapped cars dictated but sometimes it's better to be in second and Stanbrough was there at the one point Clayton couldn't stay in it.
WOW, Big Congrats to the Silent Gasser, Dutcher and the team. WOW.

The Mod race was ever bit as exciting with Brandon Green taking his first Lawrenceburg win and even though the cushion was three feet from the wall, once he grabbed the lead he put four in the fluff and seemed to be even faster.
Andrew Corbin came from deep 17th running all kinds of different lines to grab second. Adam Hamilton who started 14th grabbed third.
Very fun to watch was Josh Rice who started on the pole and after getting into the back of Joey Kramer and put to the tail for rough driving, Then getting docked two spots on a restart penalty. Came from dead last to fourth passing two cars on lap 18 in one move. WOW.
That was awesome.
Hate to say a necessity stop caused me to miss the hornet feature. Hope all went well and all are safe.
