A massive field of 33 cars rolled into the pits, all hunting for a spot in Saturday’s big show. With only the top 16 locking in on time, the pressure was sky-high! ⏱️💥
Kyle Stark laid down a blistering lap to score Fast Time, followed closely by Tim Anderson, Karter Stark, Ron Vandermier, and Mark Dewey in the top 5!
With 17 cars forced to fight their way in through qualifiers, the stage was set for some serious wheel-to-wheel action:
👉 Qualifier 1: Taylor Dawson and Eric Breitenfeldt led the charge, with Dawson grabbing the checkered flag with Shawn Grabinger hot on his tail!
👉 Qualifier 2: Ashley Bell nailed the holeshot from the front row, holding off a hard-charging “Snappy” Joe Kuehn to take the win!
The Heat Races (Bracing the Sun & Chasing Bragging Rights):
☀️ Odd Heat: Drivers battled the blinding sun! Mark English swiped the lead on lap 3, but Karter Stark stormed past on lap 6 to steal the victory.
🚀 Even Heat: Shane Kohlmeier jumped out early, but Travis Hill made a brilliant charge to take home the win.
The Last Chance Showdown:
Ten cars, four transfer spots, zero room for error. James Bell and Jacob Iverson led the field, with James capturing the win despite a fierce challenge from Eric Breitenfeldt. The drive of the race belonged to Geno Eckes, who put on a passing clinic, charging from 10th to 3rd! 🤯🔥
The Main Event: 22 Cars. Full Throttle. 🟢
Josh Wilhit and Keagen Benz led a stacked 22-car field to the green flag. Wilhit grabbed the early lead, but the heavy hitters came roaring through. Mark English took over on lap 2, but a relentless Kyle Stark motored past to seize control.
