After leading the most laps, Shane Lee got snookered by Theriault on a green-white-checkered restart and then fell further down the order thanks to a bump from behind by Sheldon Creed. 7. rm posted: 09.05.2017 - 9:20 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Dippel and Thorson also crashed out on the first green-white-checkered attempt, there was a pileup in 1 & 2. Herbst kept going for another lap or two under caution before his car went up in smoke. Peterson was already hurting from losing 2 cars at Springfield, forcing them to bring the superspeedway cars to Road America and an old white Ford out of retirement to run here. Con shortened up his car big time on his qualifying lap and couldn't turn a lap in the race. I believe Fike had engine or overheating issues while running up near the front. The race was quite the opposite of Springfield, there was a lengthy green flag run to open the race and the field was quite spread out. Hixson dirt ringer Joe Cooksey, a local favorite, was in the top 5 late in the going but his car started smoking during the last 2 laps and he limped home to a 9th place finish, the best effort for a Hixson car since Cooksey's 8th place finish in this race a year ago. Tyler Speer had a great qualifying run but wound up in the fence and lost several laps while repairs were being made. Great run for Praytor coming home 11th, his best finish of the season. He's still looking for his first top 10, he posted 4 a year ago including 3 straight, and that number included both dirt races. 8.

Hasn't been updated since last week. Missing Peterson, Fast Track, Hylton, Basham and Kimmel. None of those teams have missed a race yet. 12.

However, he's the first driver to win on all disciplines in the same season (source: arcaracing.com) 16.

The RFMS Racing crew and the ILMOR Engine crew tried to find the problem, but ultimately could not get the car to fire back up." Con Nicolopoulos crashed in turn 1 after taking the checked flag on his qualifying run. It proved to be very costly as the team was already short on cars. Tom Hessert's 25 team also pitted Frankie Kimmel's 55. Kimmel ran the full race, but it wasn't a full effort. 17. rm posted: 09.11.2017 - 11:37 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 8 - I think I heard that Wayne got a composite body from MDM, presumably a Chevy. The problem is that's all he has - the body, that's it. No parts for it or anything. I thought the steels were supposed to be done by the end of this year but that timeline got pushed back a year because the back third of the field had no composite cars ready to go. Nothing for Peterson close to ready, nothing for Basham, nothing for Hixson, nothing for Praytor, and the 10 & 48 teams didn't have a composite car till this year. That's 6 teams right there, 7 if you count Hylton not breaking out Brad Smith's "new" composite body until Salem II. Considering there's 22 teams that are full time - that's counting the 28 which missed a couple races - the car count would have been in real trouble. 18.
