CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

After three laps and 3 red flags, I knew this firecracker 40 lapper would keep me later than usual. I didn't get out of the track until 10:30 and was home by 2 AM, but I thought it would never get going! Danny Sheridan and Rip Williams got into a contest with Rodney Argo with Argo going to the pits and the other two to the back on the restart. Tony Jones started 6th and was on Blake Miller's bumper when Blake had to go to the work area to attach his fuel cell. Cory Kruseman led almost from the get-go as he started on the outside of the front row. It took the Cowboy a lot of sling jobs to finally get by, but he did and held off any challanges the Kruser thru at him. It was Jones 2nd in a row and fourth of the season as he claimed the second 4th race in a row as well. Rip and Danny put on a show as they raced to the front getting 4th and 5th by the end. David Cardey started 11th and roared up to third for another good job. It was hot on and off the track and we'll be off four weeks.
