Running the extreme high line in 3 and 4! If he could have ever got that thing to turn in turn 2, no telling how fast he could have been!He did a couple of wheelies off of turn 2 pedalling it to get it to turn! Sean Jones and Claude Estes lead the field to the green flag with Estes grabbing the point. With Winnett running 2nd, the battle for 3rd between Jones, Fletcher, and D Estes was TIGHT! Jones car still seemed tight and he slipped back a few spots as the 1st caution came out on lap 6 when Chet Soto spun and stalled in the 3 and 4 turn. On the restart going into 1 and 2, Sean Jones brought out the RED with a wild tumble! Jones was okay, and the car only seemed to recieve minor suspension and wing damage! On this restart, Russ Fletcher quickly brought out the 3rd caution when he had something let go dropping fluid on the track as he coasted to a stop at the top of turn 4. Not sure if it was the motor or just a hose, but he was done for the night! Back to green, Jim Gracy and Rodney Henderson banged wheels a few times down the front stretch but continued on. By lap 7 C Estes had nearly a full straight away on Winnett! D Estes moved up to challenge Winnett for 2nd, getting by on lap 10. Lap 12 saw the 4th and final caution when Greg Snider spun and stalled in turn 3 and 4. On the restart the running order was C Estes, D Estes, Winnett, Wellborn, Reneau, Crenshaw, Baldecini?, Gracy, Doyle, Henderson, Wilson, Downing, Waller, Morgan, and Snider with lap cars of Byrum and Soto between the Estes brothers in 1st and 2nd. C Estes jumped out to the lead again with D Estes getting around the lap cars to pull away with 2nd. By lap 13 C Estes had 1/2 straight away lead on D Estes! On lap 15 Soto had troubles and lost power. While coasting around the top of turn 4, he waited for the leader to go by and then tried to coast into the infield barely missing contact with 2nd place D Estes! Soto made it to the infield and Estes didn't miss a beat! With C Estes in traffic and his rear brake rotor glowing, both seemingly slowing him down, D Estes ran him down, caught, and passed him on lap 18 in turn 2! The white flag lap saw contact between Downing and Doyle, causing Waller to spin to avoid contact with the two. Waller made it to the infield and Doyle and Downing continued and able to cross the line with out losing too much ground.
