CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

Spin-o-rama was the theme of the night as at least 6 drivers spun by themselves, including leader Damion Gardner, Cory Kruseman, Evan Suggs, Alan Ballard and Rip Williams. Matt Mitchell almost made the Jory Corp Crew a happy bunch, well, they were happy with 2nd place, but he almost pulled it off until a lap 27 red flag that Kevin Kierce experienced, allowing Mighty Mike Spencer to prevail. A long night and a longer drive home. More after I get some sleep.
