BLOOMINGTON SPEEDWAY SPRINT CARS
BLOOMINGTON, IN - APRIL 20, 2007
Darland Captures Elliottbrand Clash
As usual, the track was manicured to perfection. The track record was broken four times. Dave Darland broke the track record the first time as the ninth car out. Three cars later, Tracy Hines whittled a little bit more off of the record. Fourteen cars on further through the order, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. set the record again. Kevin Swindell set the record a final time with only 12 cans left to qualify. Jesse Hockett's first lap was fifth quick; but he tried a little harder on the second lap - just a little too hard. He flipped wildly all the way down the front stretch. To have a track that well prepared is tough to do; but Mike Miles generally has it pretty close.
When you have that many cars trying for one of the twenty spots in the feature is tough, even for the best drivers. Josh Wise is running stock cars now; but he had a night off. And, he picked up a ride in one of the strong Keith Kunz Motorsports cars. He managed to do the almost impossible. He got upside down twice in less than a lap. He tangled with the lapped car of Miranda Throckmorton and flipped in the "C" feature. At the start of the "B" he flipped again and his night was done.
When the green flag dropped to start the feature, Chris Windom charged ahead.of polesitter Chad Boat to take the lead. Dave Darland also got past Boat on the first lap too. As the race wore on Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. moved up to mix it up with Darland and the other front runners. On the 22nd lap Stenhouse tangled with a lapped car; and his night was done too. Dave Darland inherited the lead; and he managed to hold onto it until the checkered flag waved. However, Jon Stanbrough, Tracy Hines, and Chris Windom put on a whale of a show during the closing laps.
