CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

Every once in a while the feature from hell shows up and normally it's a full moon night. No big shiner tonight, but 10 flips, 7 in the feature and it took forever. Jones led, but he was hooked into Hanson and Sheridan's mess and that left Johnny Rodriguez free for his first CRA win. He was quick time and was running third when the three mentioned got together and finished up the last five laps in the lead. There was some good racing, with Tony Jones coming from the back after a restat to get 4th and Johnny's drive form 8th to win.
