The decision was made to head to Boone at about 4pm and so i grabbed the clipboard, pens, scanner, camera and jacket and head to Boone for a nice night at the races. I drove the entire way in a light rain shower but the races went off with out a drop of rain at the track.
On to the action on the track now.
First feature of the night was the 15 lap Mod Lites feature. Travis Stensland started inside row two but he found his way to the lead early. Stensland tried to pull away but Terry Brown stayed in check and then the only race caution came out on lap five when Amber Coffman came to a stop in turn four. Stensland continued to lead until lap traffic slowed him down and that allowed Brown to sneak by. Brown took the win over Stensland, Brother Charlie Brown, Andy Hennigar and Robert See.
