Restrictors, it's feature time! Kinsley Cook & Shelby Price lead to the green. 3 attempts to start & we are green. Quickly in the race, Hailey Taylor & Kinsley Cook collect. Taylor with a snapped front axle. Cook with a nurf into the rear tire. Both retire. Back to it. Thomas Hall Jr. to the front. A blanket could stretch out over the top 5. Evie Dean giving it her all. Connor Thomas moving up quickly, into 2nd. Shelby Price & Jayton Brown rounding it out for top 5. Checkers fly. Hall parks his #114 ride in Driven Performance Midwest victory lane.
600s, ready or not! A 4 wide salute to the fans & it's go time. Isaiah Garcia & Karter Battarbee lead to the green. Garcia & Mike Walling jump to the front. Sharing some epic slide jobs. But let us tell ya. Behind them was becoming the blooper reel for failed slide jobs. The track was super duper slick. Nearly every attempt to slide. Resulted in a caution. The group was giving it their best shots. It just wasnt panning out for most. Chase Randall, Christopher Larson, Preston Perlmutter into the top 5. After bringing out the 1st caution, Jacob Lucas is on the move from the rear. Walling out front. In a battle to the front, Garcia & Randall slam while racing hard. Garcia gets the tough end of the racing stick, to the tail. The POWRi Lonestar 600s Ultrashield fire safety crew is working major overtime. These guys are ON IT! Chase Hyland says 2nd is not an option. Hyland inches closer & closer. Hyland in the lead. Amongst all, we have made it to lap 13 in over 45 minutes. Track makes the call for green, white, checkered. White flys. Going into 4, Jacob Lucas finds himself in wild flip down the front stretch & landing into the infield. Driver checks out okay. With the mess & spills across the track. At that point, the call is made. Revert to the previous lap for finishes. Chase Hyland parks his #5 in the Driven Performance Midwest victory lane!!
While ending a race on a caution is never our idea of completing a race. Last night's chaos brought on the call. In the end, we are extremely grateful all racers competing walked away. Now it's time to move on to the next one!!
As always thank you to each & everyone who joined us!! Even in the heat, we got to race & do what we love!
