Fan Appreciation = Great Racing
July 17, 2018 Montgomery, Alabama: For the lucky fans in attendance this past Saturday night, They were treated to some exciting racing and some great prizes. T-shirts, Toys for the kids, Aw Shucks, Country BBQ and Front Porch Grill gift Certificates and a flat screen TV.
The real treat was some awesome racing on the historic ½ mile track. Budweiser qualifying kicked off the night with Charles Davis #6 laying down a fast lap for the Street Stock at 22.992. Late Model Sportsman qualifying had Dave “Darth” Mader besting the field at 21.104. Bill Bethea III was second at 21.129 and Roger Reuse rounded out the top 3 at 21.288. Modified Minis saw the “Bug” Dustin Knowles motor around the track at 23.425.
Coca Cola Street Stocks were the first feature and it was packed with excitement as Joe Bethea Jr. #33 had a strong run, although pressure was felt from the #38 of Hutchinson and #6 of Charles Davis. Davis grabbed the lead lap 13 on a restart only to have Bethea take it back on lap 16. With Mechanical problems striking both the current pointe leader Trey Grimes #51 and Bubba Hutchinson #38 the points battle has a completely different complexion heading to this Saturday. J.C.Cleckler #5 had another strong run as he found himself with a podium finish and sitting second in points.
