Awesome night of races
OK, so the weather was a bit cool again, but not as bad as last week. But the action on the track was just about as good as it could get.
The URSS 305 sprint cars put on one heck of a show Friday night at RPM Speedway in Hays, with Quinter’s C.J. Johnson taking the win. But he was pushed pretty hard by Jason Martin, Barry Crane and Brian Herbert.
And if Taylor Milton would have started higher up, things really might have been interesting. The teenager put on a driving clinic in his B-main and again in the feature to eventually finish fifth. His car was fast, and his driving was crisp — and fearless. It was fun watching him race.
The other three classes Friday also had great battles. Travis Sherfick held on for the win in the stock class; B.J. Dauer used a late charge to win the hobby stock; and Jerry Phillips won the modified race with late heroics.
Each of the four classes put on one heck of a show for the packed grandstands. It was awesome to see so many people attend the local races Friday.
I have some video of the sprint car heat races Friday night that I will try to get posted Monday when I get back into work. Hopefully it won’t look like a bunch of ants racing around the track. If so, there just might be some footage of Kirby Hagans wild ride.
