Delaware May 28 news/report/photo/PIC 3 WINNER thread

This is your weekly fan-in-the-stands rundown on the events and activities at Delaware Speedway on Friday nights. I'm not a real reporter, I just play one on the internet, and I make no claims to get the report right 100 percent of the time. Sometimes I can't even decipher my own chicken scratch at 2 in the morning.Hey...You get what you pay for. ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Shadow Report - May 28, 2010Well we started off the night under a hot sultry sky, and with the full moon in the offing, the general consensus was that we were in for a wild night. It was an awesome nights racing for sure, but never reached the levels of craziness normally associated with a full moon, which in this reporter's mind is probably a good thing.Demar Aggregates TrucksTonight saw the return of 7-Derek Clark, who took a couple weeks putting Humpty Dumpty back together after a wicked crash with Jeff Showler on opening night. Derek made a pretty good showing for himself until getting caught up in some stuff during the feature...fortunately it didn't look as bad as the first time. Derek's Facebook status showed a little thank you shout out to the Perkins SS team for some help thru the week and I'm sure he doesn't mind me passing that along here. Heat 1Didn't see much of heat 1 as I was sorta busy at the time. 1st to 33-Fothergill, 2nd to 56-Showler, 3rd to 55 AdraiensenHeat 2 saw 99-Koricina leave them in the dust while 31-Howard and 01-Bloemendal fight it out for 2nd. Howard gets the best of that battle leaving Bloemendal to slug it out with 00-Johns for 3rd...a battle Johns wins. 1st to Koricina, 2nd to Howard, 3rd to Johns.Demar Aggregates Trucks FeatureWell, we're used to some rough and tumble racing from the truck gang and they certainly did not disappoint tonight. We start with Johns on the pole with Adraiensen alongside, then McCaw/Showler and Clark/Bloemendal. Right off the bat theres a banzai move by McCaw to the inside to shoot past the front row, and when they come out of 2 he's in 2nd behind Johns. Adraiensen, Showler and Clark go three wide down the backchute for third place, which Showler gets the best of. Showler makes quick work of McCaw and goes to work on Johns. Now Showler's doing a power move on the outside of Johns and almost makes good on it when the caution flies for 4-Thompson who goes spinning in turn 1. Then an unfortunate restart where they come down to get the green and Bloemendal blows his motor heading into 1. 4-Thompson gets caught in it and connects hard with the inside pit wall. Lengthy red for cleanup.Now on the restart, SHowler dives low and under Johns to take first. Showler knows Fothergill is coming and seems eager to put some distance between them, and he does. Fothergill has broken free and is in 5th when the next caution comes out, this time for 75-Depius and 99-Koricina who are spun on the backchute. Koricina goes back on the hook.Now after this restart, Showler once again takes off and the battle is for 2nd between Johns and Adraiensen with Fothergill closing in. Adraiensen gets Johns loose and the three of them go three wide down the backchute, when caution flies one more time, this time for 93 Matt Koricina. Now its a 4 truck battle for 2nd between Johns, Adraiensen, Fothergill and McCaw. Fothergill makes an outside move to get past the lot of them and pulls alongside Johns for second. Adraiensen comes out the worst in this, spinning in turn 4 and collecting 7-Clark. Now after this restart, Fothergill is working Johns for 2nd, managing to push past, and taking MCCaw with him. Now its Showler, once again checked out on the whole field, then Fothergill, McCaw and Johns. Johns seems to be slowing slightly, and McCaw almost seems to be having some problems, with a lot more flame coming from the bottom of the truck than normal...but it doeasn't seem to be hurting him too much. Fothergill is on the hunt now, and it doesn't take too many laps before he's eaten most of Showler's lead. But Showler played his cards right tonight and Fothergill didn't have enough laps left.1st to Showler, 2nd to Fothergill, 3rd to McCaw, 4th to 77-Zagarodny, and 5th to Adraiensen----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Super StockHeat 124 Richmond takes the early lead with 84-Smith right on him. Great race but Smith couldn't get around.1st to Richmond, 2nd to Smith, 3rd to 76-ReidHeat 2Lidster takes the lead followed by 5-Hewitt. 28-Lawrence and 60-Ott have a great side by side battle for 3rd, which Lawrence wins. then Lawrence makes the pass on Hewitt and brings Ott with him. 1st to Lidster, 2nd to Lawrence, 3rd to Ott.Super Stock FeatureSuper Stock feature starts with Lawrence on the pole with Ott alongside, then Lidster/Richmond and Hewitt/Reid. Right off the get-go, Lawrence takes the lead followed by Lidster and a side by...

Streetstocker33 - Hope its not too bad Jamie. So what happened there anyway? All I saw was you and a couple of our "wild cards" spun on the frontstretch. Hope the damage wasn't because you drove it in instead of letting em' tow it. You looked kinda cheesed.

What happened was I was running about a car length behind the 8 car, and somehow he managed to lose it when we were basically on the straight away, just had no time to react, I guess that's what I get for trying to ride around the back and stay out of the way while we get it figured out. The damage wasn't from when I drove it in, and I was definately a little hot under the collar, everything is junk on the RF of the car, I've got a broken thumb, and all because some racing dad thought it was a great idea to move a kid from the juniors straight to the late models.

Sorry to hear, Jamie. I would give you whatever parts I have, but I dont think 1985 Chev truck parts fit an LM very well. Give me a shout if you need a hand. I might be able to make it out.
