 Scott and Mark would bring the field down for the green with Scott jumping to the lead.  Mark was close on his bumper with Bobby, Matt and Bob fighting for 3^rd.  The rest of the field was tightly packed with a lot of racing for position.  Mark made sure that Scott knew he was there.  Bobby would finally take command of 3^rd and Bob and Matt would battle it out for 4^th.  Dave would fall with mechanical problems and Kevin followed him.  Mark would suddenly lose power coming out of turn 4.  Bobby would take evasive action to avoid a collision but would lose his momentum and his position.  Mark would make it off the track.  Matt would take up 2^nd, Bob 3^rd and Bobby dropping to 4^th.  Beau and Austin would be making their way towards the front.  A yellow for debris on the track would come out with 5 laps to go.  On the restart, Matt would really put the pressure on Scott.  Matt would try low and then high.  With 2 laps to go Matt would make the pass on Scott.  Matt would take his first feature win.  Scott 2^nd, Bob 3^rd, Bobby 4^th and Beau 5^th.        

We gave away 1 - 10 Lap Racing Experience YOU RACE promotional giveaway. Tiffany Renick of Odessa, MO was the happy winner.

The racing in The Racing Experience Midwest Outlaw Lightning Sprints is fiercely competitive.  With low cost maintenance and motorcycle power, this is still the most economical way to go fast in a race car.  These cars a 1 second a lap faster than an A Mod or a Late Model.

Race Results - Sat. June 27, 2009

Nevada Speedway -- Nevada, MO

This was the groups only visit to one of their favorite race tracks.  The hot sun had won out over all the water that was put onto the track.  The track was showing black midway thru the heat races, but it was a pretty smooth race track and good racing surface.

Kendall jumped to the lead followed by Scott, Beau and Brent.  With the track being dry slick, the place to run was on the bottom.  Kendall pulled away to a 6 car length advantage.  The race was for 2^nd.  Scott and Beau would get together causing a yellow.  Scott was out with a flat right rear tire and Beau got to restart at the rear with some bent front end parts.  Austin and Merril were working their way towards the front with Kendall maintaining a several car length advantage.  On the white flag lap, Austin would get into the back of Kendall spinning him out.  Over aggressive driving cost Kendall his first win of the season and Austin 2^nd place money.  Both cars would be sent to the back for the green, white checker finish.  Brent was now the leader with Merrill 2^nd.  The race would finish with Brent winning, Merrill 2^nd, Zach 3^rd, Bobby 4^th and Beau 5^th.

We gave away 1 - 10 Lap Racing Experience YOU RACE promotional giveaway. Brett Steinbauer of Pittsburg, KS was the happy winner.

35 Raceway Park

The 600 Mini Sprint feature ran their race wingless again this week, providing for some close, exciting racing for the fans. The field was made up of 14 cars and was led to the green by the 22R of Kevin Roberts, with the 1H of Herschel Wills and the 2B of Jeff Barnhart in his tracks. Barnhart went to the inside of Wills and took the second spot on the backstretch, and then tried to the inside of Roberts, but couldn’t take the spot away. Barnhart slowed way down on the backstretch, bringing out the caution. He tried to restart the race again, but his car had a mechanical issue and he was forced to leave the race. When the green flew again it was Roberts, Wills, the 4 of Carl Cruse and the 9 of Kevin Wills. Cruse went around the 1H for the second spot, but the caution flew quickly when the 1H and the 4R of Kevin Roberts got together in turn four. The 1H had to leave the race due to a break, and the field was stacked up again for the restart. The 22R led the field to the green again, bringing with him Cruse and the 95 of Dan Lewis. The battle was for the third spot between the 9 and the 4, and Wills was able to take it in the closing laps. When the checkers flew, it was Roberts who took the win with the 95 of Dan Lewis in second and the 9 of Wills in third.
