In their second week of racing action at I-35 Speedway the familiar face of Bobby Layne #01 would honor his late father Elmer Layne earning the night’s top spot.  Mark K.

On a near perfect track the fire breathing, high flying, USRA Modifieds put on quite a Spectacular show.  Kerry Davis #68 would jump out to an early lead, holding off all challengers until the second to last lap, where Issac Dotson #67d would use the extreme high line to pass Davis and claim the night’s victory.  Davis who ran a flawless race would come home runner-up in second place.  Point leader Zach Sanders #69 would contend the entire race only to fall short and finish third.  The always consistent Dennis Elliott #29 would work his way around traffic to finish fourth, with Trevor Hunt #99h finishing in the fifth spot.  Heat race winners were Issac Dotson #67d and Trevor Hunt #99h.  The Best Looking Car Award would go to Tyler Grooms #92.

I-35 Speedway would like to thank our drivers for putting on a spectacular show.  We would also like to thank our fans for their continued support.  We would like to personally thank Randy Ainsworth, Mike Nelson, and Allen Staley for entertaining us with the raw egg toss during Intermission activities.  Next week we will see who the best fisherman is, as we set the buckets up and let the fans cast for prizes.  See everyone next week for more “Dirt Trackin at its Best”.
