Race Report
Brandon Overton and Tim McCreadie set the front row for tonight’s main event. They exit the pit area and lead the field to the bullring dirt track.
Weather is on the way. If they make it to halfway, it’s official.
Jonathan Davenport, Hudson O’Neal and Earl Pearson Jr all take provisionals. Davenport was leading last night when a crash broke all kinds of stuff. He’s unloaded another one tonight and struggling to get it rolling like the other one.
40 more laps of dirt late model racing are up next…
Green flag, Overton drives it deep into turn one. He’s clear by two car lengths. But, he corner exit speed is sacrificied.
McCreadie looks under him off turn two. Boom Briggs has a run on both of them and looks further inside.
They run three wide for the lead into turn three. Overton holds the lead off turn four.
McCreadie is all over the bumper of the leader. Overton is glued to the cushion. McCreadie looks to the middle for a way by.

caution is out.
