It will be highly difficult to improve the racing from what we saw on Monday night. But, another $5,000 is on the line and they’re going to try.
Race Report
They’ve dug into the race track ahead of the main event. The middle and high grooves have been leveled. We’re looking at a brand new smooth and moist surface for the main event.
They’ve also pushed the inside tire barriers out. The inside lane was taking rubber and they’ve reacted by taking the whole lane away. The track will be a bit narrower and longer for this one.
Tim Dohm and Brandon Sheppard set the front row for tonight’s main event. They bring the 30-car field through the pit gate.
Sheppard is looking for redemption. He was spun by Kyle Bronson while racing for the lead on Monday night. He’ll start from outside pole tonight.
30 laps of dirt late model racing are up next…
Green flag, Dohm and Sheppard run even into turn one. Dohm gets the drive off turn two on the bottom.
Jonathan Davenport looks under Sheppard for 2nd into turn three.
