conditions for the Florida Mini Sprint Association racers. With a large
field of racers from all of the country the best of the best were ready
to dual it out for the second night of action.
Luke Thomas finished 3rd on Friday night as he drove through the
traffic and looked to be getting faster as the race went on. When the
green flag dropped on Saturday nights feature Thomas wasted no
time as he moved to the point by the second lap of the race. Thomas
never looked back nor did he waver as he drove a flawless race.
The 3rd lap saw a yellow flag and had the line-up as Thomason the
point with Davis Pleaugh in second and Dustin Gates in third and
Ryan Smith was fourth and Travis Senter Jr. in fifth. Just a few laps
more had Smith moving into 2nd followed by Gates. On the eleventh
lap Senter Jr. moved pass Pleaugh and two laps later Michael
Dransfield followed .
At the sixteenth lap Senter Jr. was in a battle with Gates as they came
upon lap traffic and Senter Jr. made the right moves for the pass for
third. The yellow was out at the twenty second lap and the restart
lined up as Thomas, Smith, Senter Jr., Gates and Dransfield. The next
lap Dransfield made the pass on Gates and they came to the
checkered flag led by Thomas who was followed by Smith, Senter Jr.,
Dransfield and Gates.
The B-Main was won by Brian Robinson and the heats went to Tim
Buckmalter, Travis Senter Jr., Ryan Smith and Jesse Teed.
