CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

I am home, it is 2:30 and nothing is posted on the USAC web page. I'll tell you what I know. David Cardey had fast time tonight at 18.01 I think, and then he blew the motor in his heat. There were 21 cars to start with and only 3 heats and a feature. The Modifieds used up the track before the main and dust was a flying quickly. On a red, they put some water on the bottom of the track, but the dust made it difficult to see from my seat to the other end. Matt Mitchell took the lead early and fought with Alan Ballard for a bit. Garrett Hansen jumped to 2nd and then put the slider shot on the leader. There were many yellows and finally, they said the feature was cut to 25 laps. The track was tough and the slider was the only tool, but Garrrett won his second race of his career with Blake Miller, Tony Jones, Mike Spencer and Danny Sheridan following in that order. It wasn't one of the good ones.
