Déjà vu, Hollywood, DD, and ALLConkwRight!!!
Do not adjust your screen, and its hopefully not also your eyes, because in back to back weeks of racing the father and son team both win again!
For starters in the Action packed, sometimes yellow JLR Property Management Rookie Modifieds Wyatt Gaggero and Dakota Dale battled trading sliders for the lead and ending up with DD Dakota Dale on the top of victory circle, Wyatt Gaggero 2nd, Fred Freeman 3rd, Clifford Shepard 4th, and Nick Tullos 5th.
The always exciting Alternative Pest Management USRA modifieds again did not disappoint, what looked to be a cruise to victory for #65 "HOLLYWOOD" Tyler Davis, was tightened back up after a scary collision at the end of the front stretch brought out the yellow. (thankfully both drivers walked away together without injury). The G3 of Brendon Gemmill threatened on the restart and the ever lightning fast #75 of Tad Davis was back in striking distance looking for another win. When the Double Checkered flags flew it was the Gerber Collision #65 of Tyler Davis at the top of the podium, former track Champion Brendon Gemmill 2nd, Tad Davis 3rd, Hard Charger Bryce Schniepp 4th, and Brandon Conkwright rounding out the top 5.
The HEYGlassman stock cars had some new faces enter, but at the end of a 15 Lap feature Brandon Conkwright stood in O'Reilly Auto Parts victory Lane after he used every line he could to hold off a super fast Kenny Ziegler 2nd, Beau Davis 3rd, Scott Lehman 4th, and George Ramey 5th.
The AutoTech Super Stocks took a couple of laps to get going, but then Jarrod Reimer set sail for another victory making it 2 in a row,(more on that later) Alan Blevins looked strong finishing 2nd, the ever-steady David Blocher 3rd, Chris Purkey with a new transmission put in at 4:00pm solid at 4th, and James Weve 5th.
The fast growing Primal Jerky Mini Stock division had 3 new entries this week, and in what looks to be setting up to be a year long battle, The "Flying Mullet" Gratton Dalton and Jayce Reimer made up your front row in the A-main. Dalton who's car is fast-fast on starts rifled to a good lead early on, but young hot shoe Jayce Reimer chipped away lap after lap and overtaking Dalton with only a few laps to go until a car being lapped crossed up the track leaving Reimer nowhere to go but into the side of it. After realigning the field, Reimer was awarded his spot back and did not look back and headed to Victory Lane!! Dalton 2nd, Bice 3rd, Cash 4th, and Flauding 5th.
So I'm not a historian, but I'm pretty certain that at least during F.O.E management history this is the first time EVER that Father and son have won there respective divisions A- features back to back!! Congratulations to the entire Reimer Team!!!
Thanks to all employees, officials, racers, crew and the fans!!
