“SUPERMAN” Scott Sexton Checks Out at the Monster ½ Mile!
 

  

After much anticipation due to last week’s rainout, Scott Sexton dominated the Super Late Model Feature flag-to-flag. In qualifying, Sexton turned fast-time in his #52 Byrd’s Radiator/TNT Chassis/RACETEK Race Engines Pontiac Grand Prix over Brad Coffey in the #88 Smokey View Radiator Chevy Monte Carlo. On the start, Sexton quickly took the advantage over Coffey, until the first caution on the first lap, caused by Roger Best #007 spinning out in turn four. On the restart, Sexton quickly resumed the lead over Coffey, but, the race was halted by the #00 of Jeff Smith spinning in turn two, also causing minor damage to the #3 of Kelvin White. White is able to continue racing. The #00 returned to his original starting position. On the 2nd restart, Sexton quickly motored away from the rest of the field. However, on lap 6 another caution came, due to spins by the #3 of Kelvin White and the #21 of Jody Teffeteller. White was sent to the rear.  Immediately on the restart, the #49 car of Jonathon Davenport breezes by the #88 of Brad Coffey to gain the second position.  On lap 13, Sexton began to lap traffic, but is again slowed by a caution, due to a blown engine which erupted into a small fire under the hood of the #49 car. On the restart, Sexton again checks out!!! On the 23rd lap, he began to lap traffic again, and held off Coffey for the win.

   In the Sportsman division, Jason Carter (#39) of Madisonville, TN won the heat race which gave him the pole position. On the start, Carter took the lead over the #3 of Ralph Standridge. The race went caution free until lap 15 when the #39 and #3 cars got together while battling for the lead, both cars suffered damage as the #39 spun out bringing out the caution. On the restart, Ralph Standridge lead the field into turn one. On the final lap, Jeff Franklin in the #j12 passed Standridge for the lead exiting turn two. Franklin held off Standridge for the win.

   In the Modified Street division, the #107.7 of Mike Dyke obtained the pole by winning the heat race.  The first caution came on lap 8 due to a spin by Tim Kyle in the #124.  He was allowed to return to his original position, while Dyke was still in the lead.  On the restart, no other cautions were brought out, which allowed Dyke to hold on to the lead over #5 Duke Lowes and #31 Johnny Ridings.

   The #38 of Brad Hamilton started on the pole for the Mini Stock feature.  The first caution was brought out when the hood of #4 Gordon Watkins came flying off. On the restart, the #0 of Vince Cole quickly makes a pass on Hamilton. A caution comes out due to #7 Clifford Sands’ stalled car.  On the second restart of the race, another caution immediately came out when the #12 of Bo Allison hit the wall going into turn 4.  On the restart, caution 4 came out when the #38 had a flat tire between turns 2 and 3.  The #24 of Joe Cook spun out to avoid causing a collision with Hamilton.  Vince Cole was still in the lead at this point, and the #24 car was sent to the rear.  On the last restart of the race, which was lap 6, the #24 came from the back to pass the #9 of Mike Tidwell to take the second position.  Vince Cole was first.

   For the Front Wheel Drive division, the #14 of Benji Braden started on the pole.  As the pack went into turn 1, they were five wide! The first caution came out before the first lap was completed, due to contact between numerous cars.  Several cars spun out, but only two are unable to continue racing.  The restart came with everyone starting in their original positions.  By the 5th lap, the #14 car began to lap traffic.  On lap 7, the second caution came out when the hood of Jeremy Thurmon’s #03 cars engine blew up. Due to his lack of ability to see, he spun out and the race was shortened due to excessive fluids on the track.  The #14 of Braden took the first position, followed by the #18 of Robert McDonnie and the #24 of Ronnie Shelton.

   For the Modified Mini feature, only three cars were present.  The #10 of Jamie Miller started on the pole.  The race was caution free, which gave the #10 the win over the #4 of Jeff Smith and #0 of Robert McIntosh.
