With rain threatening all evening and even wetting the track during the Super Late Model feature, racing was fast and exciting all evening with defending Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models champion Rob Blair getting his first win of season.

Michael Oakes and Chad Wright brought the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models to green with Wright leading until pandemonium struck at the end of the first lap when several cars got sideways on the front straight with Bobby Rohrer sitting backwards and being hit hard by Matt Urban while Jake Finnerty was taking a fast sideways ride into the infield to avoid the wreckage.  Bob Dorman received sheet metal damage to the right rear but was able to continue. Michael Oakes also suffered damage in the incident.

For the restart after a brief rain-shower Wright led defending champion Rob Blair, former champions Chris Hackett and Rich Gardner, and John Volpe, back to green.  At the end of three laps Blair was next to Wright and had a half-car length lead at the end of four.

Five laps in saw Blair solidly in front with opening night winner Hackett gaining the second position at lap eight. Twelfth starting Greg Oakes was challenging Wright for third at ten laps, and they were even at the line. At halfway it was Blair, Hackett, Oakes, Wright, and Gardner fifth. Last week’s winner Bump Hedman came to fifth at lap fourteen just as Michael Oakes came to a stop in turn four. Gardner faltered on the green, losing several spots.

By sixteen complete Oakes was second then Hedman came to third at eighteen. Blair, the two-time defending champion, went on to his first win of the season over Oakes, Hedman, Hackett, and Wright.
