It’s a packed house. Tim McCreadie and Brandon Overton line up on the front row for the main event.

Kyle Larson was stuffed in the wall during the B Main. He broke later in the race while running 2nd. Larson has been given a promoter’s choice provisional and he’ll start 31st, last in this race.

There’s 7 provisional starting spots in total. The defending champion of Jonathan Davenport is one of those. Others include: Shane Clanton, Tanner English, Tyler Bruening, Hudson O’Neal and Stormy Scott.

The track has been reworked from top to bottom ahead of the main. It was scratched and water was dropped on all lanes, mainly the middle and upper lane. 31 drivers are looking at a brand new race track.

The field lines up in a four wide salute for the dirt late model fans. 100 laps of dirt track racing are up next…
