TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY NIGHT #1

STARTED 5TH
DNF

John started the 2nd heat race in 12th and finished 2nd!  That finish took him straight to the A qualifier where the top 8 finishers would be locked in for the Saturday night A feature.   He started 5th, but didn't finish due to breaking a shock mount.  He should start close to the front tonight, and will hopefully be in the A feature.  112 modifieds checked in Friday night!
Pritchett Paces Modified Main By J M Hallas Palmer's Terry Pritchett snuck past early leader Bumper Jones as the 15-lap Modified main ran their Q-qualifier. Pritchett then was forced to battle with Timothy Culp during late race restart. Culp would get along side Pritchett, but Pritchett scored he win by .233 seconds at the line. As green waved on the 15-lap Modified feature it was 4-wide coming to the flagstand, with Jones getting the lead and Jared Webb running side Pritchett for second. Darrell Nelson took third from Webb on lap 1. Jones slipped high on lap 3 giving Pritchett an opening to grab the point on lap 4, with Nelson moving up to second. Nelson closed in on Jones for second, with three wide racing mid pack. Nelson lost third to Webb on lap 5, then fourth to Bobby Malchus on lap 6 as Culp moved to sixth. The red flag waved on lap 8 when Jason Teague hooked a rut in turns -4 and flipped end over end. Teague was uninjured, but the car shed nearly its sheet metal. On the restart Webb tried to look low on Jones for second, but lost third to Malchus. Webb charged back getting by both Jones and Malchus for second, with Culp getting a run on Jones for third. As Culp and Webb battled for second and Malchus scrapped it out with Jones, Pritchett was able to edge away. Steve Whiteaker jr. brought out the yellow on lap 13 when his hood flew up across the windshield opening and he stopped in turn 4. Once back under green Nelson and multi-time IMCA Supernationals champion, Mark Noble fought with Jones for fourth and fifth. Before a lap was complete Howard Willis saw his night end rolling to top in turn 2 while behind him Mike Hansen, Triston Dycus, George White and Chris Henigan all tangled between turns 1-2. The restart saw Mark Dotson get by David Winslett for the final transfer. Up front Culp had a run on Pritchett for th lead. It was wheel to wheel down the back straight, but it was Pritchett eking out the win. Modified A-main(Top 8 to A-main) 120 Terry Pritchett, Palmer C8 Timothy Culp, W.
