Good evening all!

Well the night started off right with nary a cloud in the sky and a pit full of Powerade Modifieds, Demar Aggregates Trucks, Super Stocks, and Ultimate Sandblasting Chaos Cars, and lets just say by the end of the night that the Chaos Cars truly lived up to their name!

For the full listing of the evening's finishing orders, go here: Delaware Scoring Results

Demar Aggregates Trucks

NOTE: This evening the 97 truck was piloted by Powerade Mod 57 driver Gary Brooks.

Heat 1 Starts out with 9-Thompson in the early lead with 97-Brooks up into 2nd. 81-Hilborn and 4-Thompson go around together in turn 2 but no caution. 9-Thompson hangs on for a little while then suddenly slows and 00-Johns gets around to take 1st. Great last lap battle for 2nd between Brooks, 9-Thompson and 99-Koricina. koricina forces her way through and at the end its 1st to 00-Johns, 2nd to 99-Koricina, 3rd to 9-Micheal Thompson

Heat 2 Great side by side racing for 1st between 7-Clark and 01-Bloemendal. Whole pack is bouncing off each other, and at one point 88-Fothergill gets in contact with 33-Rijnen, then bounces off 77-Zagaorodny and does a 360 in turn 1 to bring out caution. Once Fothergill get going again, he gets the black for delay of race.  1st to 01-Bloemandal, 2nd to 7-Clark, 3rd to 77-Zagarodny

Feature - This was a wild, wild race tonight that saw the return of a lot of 3 wide racing, in some cases for multiple laps. Its a drag race off the green between Hillborn and 9-Thompson, with Johns tucked in behind them waiting to make the move. Johns makes it three wide and when they come around, the 00's are in front with 16-Hosang following him through. Johns gets a little bit of space between himself and Hosang, but Hosang's dogging him and begins to close the gap. At the 10th marker, Johns and Hosang have taken off, as Showler, Fothergill and the rest of the top points guys are mired in a 2-3 wide mid pack. At the crossed flags, Hosang is all over Johns' bumper.

Now some of the the usual top suspects are beginning to break free with Bloemendal closing the gap on the leaders, followed closely by Fothergill. By the 17th curcuit the order is Johns, Hosang, Bloemendal and Fothergill all running bumper to bumper. Bloemendal gets alongside Hosang and manages to make the pass and Fothergill follows him through, and at lap 19 its Johns, Bloemendal, Fothergill and Hosang. Good battle for 2nd with Fothergill trying hard to get around Bloemendal, but it ends with what looked to me like contact in turn 3 that left Bloemendal spun out. Caution flies to set up the last 4 lap sprint.

At the restart, Fothergill is pushing Johns hard. He gets down low on the fronstretch to make the pass, and Hosang tries to follow him through, but Johns cuts down going into one and gets her out of shape enough to set her back a number of spots.

FINAL - 1st to 88-Fothergill, 2nd to 00-Johns, 3rd to 33-Rijnen, 4th to 99-Koricina and 5th to 56-Showler.

Super Stock

The night started with 76-Reid and 77-Lake in a dead heat for 1st in points, and 11-Lidster hoping to regain top spot after an extremely crummy outing last week.

Heat 1 - Silverthorn Jr takes the point in the 66-Peters car and stays there while 7-Sheilds tries everything to get around him. At one point 3-Perkins is off the 2nd turn wall, although not too badly this time. 99-Nagy is in 3rd and pulls alongside of Sheilds for a photo finish at the stripe for 2nd.
1st to Silverthorn, 2nd to 7-Sheilds (by a nose-hair) 3rd to 99-Nagy.

Heat 2 - 51-Rabideau takes a quick lead while 11-Lidster and 60-Ott go for 2nd. Rabideau's car looks like its all over the place, but he keeps it well in front to win the race. 1st to Rabidaeu, 2nd to Lidster, 3rd to 2-Rijnen

Feature - Early off its Silverthorn in front with Nagy close behind, then 67-Hewitt, and a drag race between Rabideau and 28-Lawrence for 4th. Before too long, Nagy is around Silverthorn, and brings Rabideau along with him. At lap 9, Rabideau is pushing the 99 car hard and on the 10th go around the 51 is in the lead. At this stage of the game, points leaders Lake and Reid are bogged down at the end of the lead pack. The order is Rabideau, Nagy, Hewitt, Lidster, 24-Richmond, Reid and Lake. At one point there's a caution as 48-McColl goes around in 1, and at another point theres a good side by side battle between Richmond and Lidster that ends with Lidster in 4th and Richmond in 5th. Now there's battles happening all over the racetrack, but most significant is that 2nd pack of Lidster, Hewiit, Richmond, Reid and Lake who are all going at it tooth and nail and allowing Rabideau to put a little distance in.

Now past the halfway, Nagy gets a little out of shape and Lidster, Lake and Reid are past him....and now its 3 to go and Lidster has the 51 car in his sights. While Lidster is reeling him in, the Lake-Reid-Richmond trio are battling it out for 3rd. There's contact in 3-4 between Lidster and Rabideau and now the blue and yellow 11 is in the lead, Rabideau's in 2nd, and after contact with Lake, Reid and Richmond are side by side for 3rd. Lake's back to 5th, and 84-Smith takes the opportunity to slide up into 4th.

Last lap schmozzle in turn 3-4 leaves Lawrence sitting up against the fence, and I believe Nagy was involved too.

FINAL - 1st to Lidster, 2nd to Rabideau, 3rd to Richmond, 4th to 84-Smith, 5th to Lake.

Powerade Modifieds

We saw tonight the return of Tyler Finlay in the 59 car, and the debut of yet another paint scheme on 57-Brooks. Brooks' car is still white, but with green number and trim now instead of red. Findlay is nephew to Rob Starr who ran mods here a while back. The 59 car that got totaled a couple months ago was one of Rob's old cars, as was the car that was out tonight. Great to see Tyler back after what's thus far been the worst crash yet this year at the speedway.

Heat 1 - 1st to 70-Saunders, 2nd to 38-Hendricks, 3rd to 24-Richmond

Heat 2 - 1st to 39-McCullough, 2nd to 3 Cox and 3rd to 1-Newman

Feature - Starts with Saunders in the lead, McCullough battling with Hendricks for 2nd, and Richmond in 4th. 57-Brooks is going backwards for some reason, and it just doesn't look like tonight's his night in the Mod.

By the 10th circuit McCullough is strongly in 2nd and pushes the issue with Saunders for 1st. Both he and Saunders end up looped around in 1, and this sends 3rd place Richmond around too. After the caution, this gives 72-Thompson the lead with 3-Cox in 2nd. Cox makes pretty short work of Thompson to take 1st, and then on lap 15, Saunders is around in turn 3 for another caution. Looked at this point like there was a little heat between Cox and Thompson, as Thompson gives Cox a pretty good bumper-shot while under caution.

Now with the field bunched up at the restart, its Cox, Thompson, with 1-Newman and 88-Shipway close behind. The real race is for 3rd as Shippy tries his stuff to get around the Bear, eventually pulling alongside to make the pass on the last lap. Shippy pulls up to Thompson but doesn't have time for much more than a last moment Hail Mary for 2nd, but that's way it stayed.
FINAL - 1st to Cox, 2nd to Thompson, 3rd to Shipway, 4th to Newman and 5th to 54-Limon

Ulimate Sandblasting and Coating Chaos Cars

Well, these guys were certainly chaotic tonight. In attendance were Red Baron, Snot-rod, Bush Bomb, Wednesday, Blue Thunder, and new guy Born Again.

Snot Rod was having trouble early on as something went wrong with a tire that pretty much put him out of contention. Red Baron looked like he was just off in his own little world tonight, many times going around the barrel turns way more times that he had to. The race up front was between Wednesday, Bush Bomb and Blue Thunder. At one point, Wednesday ran out of judgement and just decided to start plowing thru barrels, and the coup de grace was when he hit one more barrel at the stop box that went flying into Sharpie the flagman. (Sharpie was at the stop box and not up in the flagstand.) It looked like he'd actually been injured somewhat. Needless to say, Sharpie was not amused, and Wednesday was sent off the racetrack. The race came down to Bush Bomb and Blue Thunder, and right at the finish line, Blue Thunder was turned into the wall, leaving Bush Bomb the victor.

In Closing

All in all it was a great night of racing! (although there may be a couple of chaos drivers who disagree!)

Trucks were particularly breathtaking tonight, and there certainly was a collective "aw crap" coming from the stands when Hosang got put out of the groove at the end of the feature.

Super Stocks were also awesome, and I'm certainly interested to see where we're sitting for points after the evening. Both divisions ran those sorts of races where you just can't decide where to look, lest you miss something. I completely missed what happened at the end of the SS feature that left Lawrence up in the fence, and apparently there was some contact between Lake and Reid that came about as a result of gravel kicked up on the track when Rabideau and Lidster had their battle.

Delaware is in serious need of a jumbo-tron for replays. ;D

So, hang on to your hats folks! Next Friday, promoters Houghton, Houghton and Wilcox are coming at you with yet another action packed card. Friday night we're going to rock and roll with Supermodifieds, a double shot of APC Late Models, and the trucks. Gonna be one wild night, then we'll do it all over again for a Super Saturday with the Supermodifieds, Super Stocks, and our modifieds...which are just super.

As Billy Red used to say: Don't you dare miss it!

;D ;D ;D

I would like to say Paul never touched the 01, john showed me the video for the night in a campground. bornagain, good to see you posted that you ran out for gas, not that snotrod ramed you. get that car out for next time.

i disagree i seen paul turn alittle more left commin off of turn 2 thats how the 01 got the flat tire and then the 01 spun in turn 3. and the way he took the lead wasn't right either.

hahaha yeah he turned a little more to avoid the wall and again more damage to the truck. As im sure you have seen the pictures of him being pushed into the wall last week.

and as for how he took the lead? im talking for myself as I always do not to get confused with talking FOR my father. 00 has a fast truck and is a good driver but the race a few weeks ago not sure if it was july 10th or 3rd. maybe a different race all together, doesn't matter. He would go a bit faster if he didnt brake check in the middle of the corner. I understand that a strategy to keep drivers behind you and it may work but sometimes it works against you.
My dad the 88 was 4 tenths of a second a lap faster (Aug 1st), if your going to block and chop down (not saying that the 00 did) Although I saw twice on the back stretch right before the tech garage the 88 pull up the 00 rear wheel and backed off because the 88 didnt want to risk being chopped. the odds are your going to get a little friendly bump when the lap times are that different and your being how to put it politely "difficult".

dosen't matter anyracer knows if the hole is closing back off or does he need a leason

The reason the car (57 mod) is off the pace so much is my tires have had it (nine features on them I think) and I don't have the cash for more new ones so I'm lookin around and hopefully have a line on some good used ones !!! Wish me luck I'm gonna need it to get to the end of the season LOL !!! :-*

hahaha he was right beside him you want him to not pass him?
