ran after entering the pits in an illegal manner during the race. Travis Seals
was the surprise winner of the dwarf car main event ahead of Sandy Matthews and
Art Garcia. The bombers were the final division on Friday night and Charles
Kimbrell scored a sweep with wins in his heat and the feature as James Patau ran
