CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

OK, dry slick squared again, but with life you take some bitter with the sweet. Danny Sherdian had this one in his pocket for 21 laps until he tried to get around a lap car and swoosh, back two places putting Josh Wise in the drivers seat. Josh held off Rickie Gaunt as the one groove track was totally different than the night before with little to grab onto. Example, J J Yeley had to come from the back of the Semi and main, but where he got third last night, he only managed to get to about 18th before a rear-end broke. Tony Jones was not able to get a qualifying time (??) due to a flat and started the feature with a provisional, coming from the back to get 14th and maintain his point lead. Where last night the slick track allowed a lot of racing all over the track, this time there were few racey spots and all the action was on the bottom.
