Photo by Tim Aylwin Receiving a well-deserved Champagne shower from second finishing Brad Loyet, the driver of the Fatheadz Eyewear 99, who started ninth, utilized the inside groove for the first third of the nights feature before bolting to the high line of Eagle Raceway to capture the lead on the twelfth circuit. “We were a little tight in turn one but were super good on the bottom of three and four” commented Brady. “We turned things around at Jetmore and hopefully we can keep the hot streak alive.” Holding a straight-a-way advantage in the middle portion of the night’s 30 lap feature event, Bacon sat well ahead of the battles from second through sixth with second finishing Loyet holding off several charges from Speedway Motors ASCS Midwest Region regular Trevor Grossenbacher. “I just over thought it; I should have just stuck to the top. The lap I went to the bottom he got around me” relayed Loyet during his post-race interview. “We’re knocking on the door for that first win. I’ve had great cars and good finishes but I like winning and I want it bad; I want it real bad.” Making his second Lucas Oil ASCS feature appearance, Trevor Grossenbacher held onto the show position after nearly losing the spot to Wayne Johnson in the later portion of the nights feature event. Johnson would hold onto fourth at the checkered flag; just one spot ahead of series rival Jason Johnson who picked up the Pitstopusa.com Hard Charger of the Night after a crash in his heat relegated the MVT 41 into the B-Feature which put Johnson starting nineteenth in the night’s feature event. Seth Bergman came from eleventh to finish sixth with Danny Wood holding onto seventh. Spending the first few laps’ battling for the runner up spot before tagging the wall, the 45x of Johnny Herrera charged from twentieth to finish eighth, getting around the hard charging 53 of Jack Dover who finish ninth. Logan Forler, who also raced into the feature via the B-Main, was able to race from seventeenth to round out the top ten.
