Date Line Evergreen Speedway 5/15/2010
Racing for the Cure Night, turned out to be a night for great crowds & great weather on top of great racing. It was the first time on the 5/8’s track for both the Super Late Model & Street Stock divisions. 75 lap Super Late Model race turned out 11 cars. The race went on without any cautions, Jeff Knight & Naima Lang were trying to catch the leader for many laps but in the end Tom Moriarity was able to hold them off and take top honors for the night. Next up was the 40 lap Street Stock Division. 13 Cars came out for the race; it also was a race that went caution free. Lane Sundholm took the lead around lap 10 & never lost that lead and once again became the victor but not after having to fend off the hot charging car of Jill Lang. This was the second week that Lane has taken the top honors for the main event.
Our driver, Tim Widener #54 ended up in the 5th position. The car was good but we made the wrong adjustment, on the way of a sway bar, so the car did not run as fast as it had in the heat race, which we finished 2nd. Tim battled with the #8 car of AJ Baxter & after about 10 laps finally got around him to try & hunt down the leaders, but the gap between Tim & the leaders proved to be too much for Tim to hunt down before the race ended. The Street Stock Division will again be racing on the 5/8’s track on Sat May 22.
