Mike Haslam and Cam McClean led a field of thirteen cars to the green flag for forty laps of racing with the Richlock Rentals Non Wing Sprint cars. Mike Haslam took the early lead followed by McClean and Chris Root with these three breaking from the rest of the field a bit. By lap eight Mark Stuart moved up to run fourth as Jeff Bird moved into fifth just as theyellow flag came out as Shane Woolcock spun out on turn three. On the restart, Stuart quickly took the third spot and by lap eleven passed for second. On lap seventeen, Bird entered the pits after the early challenge for the top five. On lap twenty, Stuart made the pass and took over the lead with McClean chasing him through for the second position. Over the next several laps, Root tried everything to get by Haslam by going low, then high but couldn’t make it stick and Haslam continued to shut the door. By this time Marc Parkinson had moved into that race and on the very last corner got too close spinning Root around on turn four. Stuart grabbed the win followed by McClean, Haslam, Matt Verhagen, and Lance Wade rounding out the top five positions.
Seven cars took the green flag for twenty laps of racing with the high powered winged Sprint cars led by Wade Bland and Guy Barrett on the front row. Bland got out to the early lead followed by Barrett and Scott Aumen. By lap eleven Aumen put all kinds of pressure on Barrett for the second position running right on the bumper. Barrett and Aumen then started to put all kinds of pressure on the leader as the laps were winding down. With only four laps to go, Barrett went low, Aumen went high squeezing Bland in the middle as they headed for turn three and three wide. Barrett came out with the lead while Aumen came with him in second and the race was on. Aumen tried his patented slide job through turn one and two with the tires smokin, and again through three and four. The white flag was in the air and as these two drivers entered the final curve for the chequered flag Aumen was on the outside with the tires still smokin and blasted by for the win in a great finish for both of these talented drivers. If this is a sign of things to come for Saturday’s show, fans are in for a great treat with even more cars expected. This race only lasted just under five minutes.
