Thornton doubles up, Heeter rolls into victory lane on Racin’ for Rian Night at I-35 Speedway
The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods were the first class to deal with a track heading to the slick side. The 19 drivers all made the right setup changes and put on a show in a mostly green feature. Daniel Harris took the early lead, but that did not last long as Ricky Thornton Jr. made his way to his back bumper before a lap five caution. On the restart, Thornton made the slide job stick and took off with the lead. Thornton dominated the rest of the race while seven different drivers were in the rest of the top five at some point. Harris finished second, Doug Keller third, Ed Noll fourth and Kyle Henning fifth, while Jason Billups and Jacob Blair were the two that missed out on the top five.
Brett Heeter backed up his win in the Gary Davis Super 66 Stock Car race with another feature win. He battled with Gary Donaldson for the Holley USRA Stock Car win, who subbed for Cletus Murray in the 75 car. Donaldson finished second, with William Dahl third, Gene Stigall fourth and Robert Fisk fifth.
Mark Dotson jumped to the early lead in the USRA Modified feature. Fourth place starter Ricky Thornton Jr. made quick work of Darren Shaw and Houston Johnson to get to second. Dotson and Thornton swapped the lead several times with sliders and crossovers before Thornton grabbed the lead for good and scorched his way to the win, his second for the night. Dotson finished second, as Dennis Elliott battled back from an early race incident to finish third. Darren Shaw finished fourth and Houston Johnson fifth.
