ASCS National Sprint Tour

On Friday evening the ASCS National Sprint Car Tour hit Grays Harbor with a bang! 58 count em 58 360 sprint cars signed into the pits to break a record for the sprint car division fr the track. The racing was superb. The track stayed in racy shape well into the evening, taking rubber and getting a little dry slick by the time main event time arrived. The big money is tonight, with $10,092 to the winner of the 35 lap main event. Stay tune, I will have an update after tonight’s show.

Update

My sincere apologies for taking so long to get to this update.

Saturday night was no disappointment, the track was fast and the racing was close, mater of fact it was too close. Pushing off for the first heat, one of the push trucks drove over the top of the 99 car and tore the car up a little. I looked at my wife and said, “It’s going to be a long night. It was.

With 6 sprint heats and the Ford Focus midget, it was long but gooood!

We managed to keep al wheels on the ground, for the most part until lap 17 of the Midget main when 2 of the young ladies got together, one did end over end cartwheel flips pretty much half of the front strech and the other did a barrel roll, a long one, one of the drivers was transported to the hospital for a check and released. The race was called on lap 17.

The Sprint main was Most Excellent, Jason Johnson was flat packin the mail, nobody, I mean nobody had nothin for that guy! As fast as I’ve seen a 360 sprint car at Grays Harbor! Mid race Jeff Bell did a flip in the front stretch and was transported to the hospital with some pretty serious injuries. He was supposed to be going home as of yesterday. Thank God he’s ok! Be a while to be 100% but ok. Then later in the main Wayne Johnson took a hard flip going int turn 3 and broke the torque tearing up his leg pretty bad, he was transported to Harborview and underwent surgery, they did save the leg , but recovery will be long.  It was a Fred Brownfield Memorial to remember! However it is one to give many thanks for as well!

Fred Brownfield RIP

Condolences to the friends and family of Mike Dunn 1974 graduate of Montesano High School.
