Jamie Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 NCWTS Champion Matt Crafton in hot laps This is the second race in as many trips for me this season at Fayetteville Motor Speedway here in NC and Matt Crafton has been able to do what he loves pretty much without much notice. No one seems to bother him or even care that he is there and he can just race. He has a small 24ft.(approx) trailer towed by his motor home and small group with him helping. It is quite something when you think about how successful he has been in truck series. Anyway... The Southeast Dirt Modified Series made their first stop at FMS for round 1 of the Sandhills Shootout which was their 4th event of the season. I think 26 cars signed in, 24 took time, and 22 started. Not a bad showing for a sophomore season that has attracted some heavy hitters in modifieds. Taylor Cook in hot laps. Taylor had a trifecta with fast time, 4th of the season, heat win, and went on to win the feature. Taylor for the PFC Brakes quick time award Heat race action between series points leader Billy Workman Jr(64) and Kyle Strickler(8). This was the first lap and Strickler would bend a tire rod and have to qualify through the B. Slater McCray's badly damaged car. Carnage was an understatement for this caution laden race, this was part of a three car pile up on the front stretch the brought out the red flag. The race was scheduled to go 25 laps but they cut it to 20 due to running up close to the curfew with 2 more classes still to run. I have my opinions as to what the issues are but I'll keep them to myself.
