CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

A very interesting finish to another 40 lapper. First Danny Sheridan looked like he had it, then Blake Miller took it, gave it back on a yellow, then Danny slid over the cushion and slowed enough for the two Gardner cars to get by and Blake never looked back from there getting his first ever CRA win. A couple of times Blake, who stayed on the bottom all night, had his car pop up in the air coming around turn one and almost got sideways enough to spin out but he didn't. If it had been anyone but teammate Super Rickie behind him, he might have got the spin out love tap that Rip got late in the race from another driver. The finish was five cars within a car length trying to get to Blake. Garret Hanen went to the hospital after a flip in his heat to make sure he didn't break something in his leg. He walked form the crash to the ambulance, but with a significant limp, I should know. David Cardey started 12th and then had one stop in the main, and came from the back on the restart to get 2nd place by a nose and be hard charger of the night for his 12th place starting spot, not to mention a resart from the back!!!! More in the AM. NO, I am home and will not make Tulare, as much as it pains me.
