OK folks, we're gonna do this one in installments. Trucks and Super Stocks, then Late Models tomorrow night.Also, just because there's a couple folks that link directly to these reports, I'm reposting the link to JWO's June 26 photo page HEREAnd the unofficial complete results page HEREDemar Aggregates TrucksHeat 199-Koricna takes a great stab at the lead but ends up falling back. 2 main battles in this one. The battle for 1st comes down to 97-McDonald and 16-Hosang, and the battle for 3rd comes down to Koricna and 7-Clark. Hosang mounts an impressive assault on the outside of McDonald and looks like she might do it, but ultmately gets a little too high and ends up out of line. 1st to McDonald, 2nd to 7-Clark, 3rd to 99-KoricnaHeat 2Win to 00-Johns, 2nd to 56-Showler, 3rd to 01-BloemendalFeatureRight off the hop, Hosang jumps into the lead, while first lap disaster strikes for Showler when he blows a front tire on the backstretch. He goes high to get out of the way and ends up stranded in the top groove, unable to pull it in and being forced to go around an extra lap on the rim. Finally gets it pulled into the pits just as the rubber comes off and rolls alone across the gravel, leaving them changing the tire right in the middle of the SS/Truck end of the pits.Up front, Koricna catches up with Hosang, and the two ladies begin to put some space between themselves and the rest of the field...much to the delight of the crowd. After a few laps however, it becomes apparent that there are some fast trucks bearing down on the top 2. By the 10th lap, 82-Demelo is right on Koricna's bumper, making it a 3 car lead pack, and now Bloemendal is closing in too to make it a foursome. Koricna holds well, but Demelo manages to get by. Soon Demelo and Hosang are drag racing for top spot, while Koricna gets passed by Bloemandal and 88-Fothergill. Hosang holds tight on the outside, but Demelo is just a little faster and takes 1st. Now the order is Demelo, Hosang, Bloemandal and Fothergill.Now some minor rough stuff happens bringing out caution. In one instance, 75-Dupuis does a 360 down the backstretch, probably with help. In another instance, 00-Johns blatantly and obviously spins 11-Kirchner out for some reason. (Why a top runner needs to spin one of the back markers I have no idea) Johns get the black flag for his trouble, and the ensuing caution sets up the final dash to the finish.At the restart, Hosang is furiously trying to hold on to second, but Bloemendal's all over her. A couple laps from the end, Bloemandal finally shoots past, taking Fothergill along with him. There's not enough time however for Bloemendal to mount a serious challenge for 1st.Checkers for Demelo, 2nd to Bloemendal, 3rd to Fothergill, 4th for Hosang and 5th for 77-Zagarodny.Excellent race that got he crowd nice and warmed up. Other than the Johns thing, the race was physical, as truck races usually are, but mostly pretty clean from what I can tell. Not sure what happened with the 33 truck but he didn't factor in this one. (Id stepped away and missed what happened) LOTS of people rooting for the 16 truck tonight. Hosang's always had a bit of a following, but it seems to me that she's coming to her own as a bona-fide fan favorite this year. Super StocksHeat 1 Starts 66-Peters with 1-Dadson alongside, but its 04-Humphreys that grabs the lead. 99-Nagy mounts a charge for the top spot but Humphreys manages to hang on. Win to Humphreys, 2nd for Nagy, and 3rd for PetersHeat 267-Hewitt takes 1st spot early. The real race, and what a race it was - was a three way dance for 2nd involving 98-Morneau, 84-Smith, and 51-Jeremiah "Just Married" Rabidaeu. (I was really hoping to see some tin cans trailing along behind the car, along with some toilet paper pom-poms - but I was denied. ;)) Anyway, Morneau comes out ahead in thet battle, but Rabideau and Smith are really getting into it with each other. Up front Mornea takes the lead, and at the finsh its checkers for Morneau, 2nd to Hewitt, and 3rd to Rabideau.Feature 60-"Juice Box" Ott sits on the pole and quickly takes the lead, followed very closely by the black 5 of Mairs. After thos two, the order is 76-Reid, 77-Lake, 11-Lidster and 99-Nagy. But all eyes are up front. Now Ott is pretty new here, and Mairs has been around for a loooong time, so you can imagine that we were simply rooting for Jake to keep his cool under pressure. Well, he did way better than that. Mairs did not cut the kid any slack, even giving him the rub couple times. After ott took a couple cage-rattles and still didn't miss any marks, we realized that there was something going on here. (imagine Howard Cosell: "Well folks this is un-believable. Who'd have thought? The kid has been knocked back on the ropes multiple times and STILL he's on his feet..I tell you ladies and gentlemen, this kid has got heart!") Ok so maybe I&#039...

We broke an Axel Shaft. We got it fixed and sent the truck back out in 8 laps. Not bad

As always, thank you for the kind words, but that sounds like a lot of work. Remember that I'm just an avid fan and not some kind of journalist.

Besides, the people sitting with bated breath waiting for the next update would probably already be at the track anyway.
