Spec Ranger Trucks

Heat Race #1 delivered early excitement. Shane Baer spun to bring out the yellow, Kevin Caufman slowed after the
jump as expected, and Austin Kramer once again found Caufman’s rear bumper. Brad Faires added to the highlight
reel by taking the jump on two wheels and rolling over. Thankfully, he was okay, though his truck may have felt
different. Heat Race #1 winner: Austin Kramer.

Heat Race #2 was much quieter, giving the field a chance to regroup. Winner: Jonah Vick.
The main event featured a strong battle between Jonah Vick, Austin Kramer, and Jalen Vick, with the
Joker Lane proving to be the key strategy. Jonah made the biggest charge of the night, but clipping the
Joker Lane cone resulted in a one-lap penalty and reshuffled the finishing order.
Caufman, Garrett Kramer, Baer, and Matt Higginbotham kept it clean and stayed out of trouble. Faires
watched the main event from the grandstands, but his heat-race rollover remained one of the night’s most
memorable moments. Winner: Jalen Vick, followed by Austin Kramer, Baer, Garrett Kramer, and Caufman
to round out the top five. Fast time: Shane Baer, 22.690.

Busted MC / Blacklake Auto Wrecking Tuners Main Event

Blake Madden started on the pole with Kenna Pratt to his outside. Joseph Solis led lap 1, but the race quickly became
eventful. Pratt, Madden, Kevin Hargett, and Marcis Davis got together in turn 2 on the opening lap to bring out the
first caution. Pratt spun again in turn 3 on lap 9 for caution number 2. Evan Pulse’s car blew up on lap 14, bringing out
the third caution, and Davis’s hood flew up in turn 3 on lap 18 for the fourth caution. After several lead changes,
Jordan Peterson emerged with the win on lap 23. Dean Utterback finished second, followed by Chad Smith, Chris
Branon, and Billy Gallwas to complete the top five.
Results notes: Heat race winners were MaryJane Gallwas in heat race number 1, Joseph Solis in heat race number 2,
and Jake Utterback in heat race number 3.
