texana55 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Texana Raceway Park June 4, 2011 Results / Summary After experiencing his first victory in the event two weeks prior, Victor Vargas decided he liked the steak and wasn’t ready to go back to the bologna. With the start of the Texana Classic Dwarfs, Frank Fruia went to the lead with Victor Vargas in hot pursuit. Joseph Snow jumped up to 2nd and then Vargas worked back up to pull off a text book pass to regain the 2nd position by coming in to turn 3 and timing the move just perfect to edge in front of Snow. Buck McFarland also got in the mix by working his way up to 3rd. All the while, Fruia maintained his lead with others working at different intervals to get to him. At the checkers, Fruia took the win to cap off a great birthday weekend. 3x Frank Fruia 24 Victor Vargas 65 Buck McFarland 01 Joseph Snow 14 Greg Sexton Sr. 15 Gary Faris 66 Douglas Wright 11 Jerry Godfrey 7 Greg Sexton Jr. 89 Geoffrey Youngblood 13 Mike Christans Street Stocks found Brian King and Chris Shafer on the front row at the start. Shafer took the lead. Lauren Chamberlain pulled the right rear off the wheel and exited after the first lap. Later, Lucky Gilbert exited also with apparent mechanical problems. While Shafer led from start to finish, there were two excellent competitions during the race. The 21x of Jason Fox and 21 of AJ Solis ran close for all laps. Interestingly enough, the best show of all was the last two cars on the lead lap. This is not to say they were slow at all. The two black Novas of Matt Hoss and Jeff Allgayer raced side by side numerous laps providing many exciting moments. 77 Chris Shafer 31 Brian King 21 AJ Solis 21x Jason Fox 1 Jeff Allgayer 58 Matt Hoss 3 Mike Mosely 36 Lucky Gilbert 55 Lauren Chamberlain In the Limited Modified feature, there was action all over the place. Wade Moyer led the entire race, but not without pressure throughout from Mikey Helms and Chris Mogford. At one point Helms seemed to catch Moyer dosing a bit and start to edge past Moyer. However, Moyer jumped back to lead and didn’t let that happen again. A late race caution created a mad dash to the finish with several of the up front cars tangling just before the finish line, thus opening the door to some of the back runners to advance their positions. Excitement from start to finish in this feature. 23 Wade Moyer 174 Mickey Helms 57 Jensen Pray 211 Dean Hollier 63S Chase Sanchez 11c Chirs Mogford 04 Joseph Burnett 147 GW Hessong 155 Vince Kacir J1 Jim Heatherly 1 Trice Hermes Justin Bloom took the early lead in the Hot Stock Trucks and had no intention of making any mistakes. Brother Jason was in 2nd with Bob Ort in 3rd. Ort slid up and bumped Jason in turn 2 opening the door for Justin “Peanut” Airhart to move forward. Later, Airhart got loose and Jason slipped back to 2nd. Justin Bloom kept the lead from start to finish cruising to a fairly easy victory. 84 Justin Bloom 49 Jason Bloom 43 Bob Ort 44 Billy Ragsdale 88 Mikey Harvell 76 Justin “Peanut” Airhart 62 Scott Symonds Modified action saw a small group of cars, but a good race at the front. Wade Moyer took the early lead with Nick Hardcastle in 2nd. Good action by the two throughout. Near the closing laps, Hardcastle edged ahead of Moyer and took the win. 94 Nick Hardcastle 14 Wade Moyer 77 Jason Lewis Late Models are slowly but surely growing in numbers. This week saw a new entry of Brian Machicek. Eric Neal went to the early lead with Randy Kacir in 2nd and David Kulhanek in 3rd. Later, Kulhanek experienced mechanical failure. Neal led from start to finish and Kacir maintaind his 2nd position throughout the feature as well. 97 Eric Neal 36 Randy Kacir 55 Louis Brumbelow 37 David Kulhanek 45 Brian Machicek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texana55 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 thanks monty, it looks like your renditions of events is only racing work is going to allow me to see..lol..... video would be cool! I knew something just didn't feel right or something was missing... But, rest assured i'm keeping a watchful eye on the former Lindsey piloted limited mod. I can tell you that you musta had a good talking to that limited mod before you sold it and told it to be faithful to the new drivers, cause i've seen it take a few hits and keep on a ticking this season.... .... I'm keeping the summaries much shorter than the former novels everyone was accustomed to. Man, that is a lot easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
