The annual Eggstravaganza event at the Vado Speedway Park was held on Saturday, April 16, with Christy Barnett winning the USRA B-Mod main event and an Easter-themed giant chocolate Easter Bunny trophy.

The 24-car field was set to do battle for 20 laps.

Sherman Barnett and Jay Hill led the field to the green flag but a crash on the start caused some chaos and restacked the field.

A second and third caution before the first lap was completed got things off to a rough start, but once the race went green the action was intense out front between fourth-starting Christy Barnett and 15th-starting Aasa Flores who, along with sixth-starting Lucas Ward, were quickly on the move to battle out front.

Several more cautions changed the complexion of the race, but all eyes were on the side-by-side battle between Barnett and Flores in the final stages.

Barnett was glued to the bottom and Flores was using a sweeping maneuver around the outside to try to build up momentum to take the top spot.

Flores and Barnett ran side by side of the last few laps of the race until a lapped car took the high line away from Flores on the final circuit, solidifying the win for Barnett.

Flores ran second with Ward edging Mingo Jauregui and 18th-starting Donavon Flores in the top five.

The Vado Speedway Park will be back in action Saturday, April 23, with another Hot City Nights event where residents of Las Cruces will be admitted into the grandstand area for just $5 with a valid ID.

Gates open at 5 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30.

For fans not able to attend in person, all events held during the 2022 season at the Vado Speedway Park will also be live streamed online WatchFYE.tv.
