By lap 22 Bunting and Mullins both had worked by Simpson for the 2nd and 3rd spots as Simpson got in the traffic.
Heat 1 Reed was at the helm on green but it was 3 wide action out of turn 2 between Reed, Downs, and Mullins. The 3 were nip and tuck still into turn 3 when Downs took inside groove for the lead.

Tonight each class had a young driver to take the win.
This was the first time for the TEAM SLIDE and only 3 teams showed up making it 6 cars. It was still funny to see them get around the track, but I hope more will join in next time. NEW this year is the team slide, one car has power and one does not. The car with no power is pushed by the car with the power, both cars have the same number. The cars were not attached. The winner this week was Phillip and Terry Leeson when Phillip pushed his wife Terry around 1st for 5 laps.
This Saturday night a regular show with the Little Lincoln's making the show. Gates open at 5:00 PM and racing to start 7:00 PM. See you at the track!
Team Slide For Five Winner: Phillip & Terry Leeson # 475
