the checkers. On lap 12, the #90 of Andercheck and the #8

continue. Following Graham across the start/finish line

Ted Helmes Heat 3. The #3 of Jeff Colburn sat on the
pole for the feature race but it was the #30 of Mike
Wieczoreck that took the lead and never looked back. As
the #2 of Ron Whaley and #32 of Bill Stacy go lap after
lap side by side for the third position, Whaley takes
it only to lose it in the end to Stacy. Ted Helmes #61
held tight to keep the second place position. Top five
were #30 Mike Wieczoreck, #61 Ted Helmes, #32 Bill Stacy,
#2 Ron Whaley, and #45 Mike Soukup. The #45 of Soukup was
last week's feature winner and started in the rear of

the 27th starting position to fifth.
Jerry Symons #66 was the heat winner for the Open Wheel
Modified race. But it was the #16 of Justin Henderson
who sat on the pole for the feature event. Henderson
was able to hold that position for most of the rest in

the lead but Henderson held on for second with #66 Jerr
Symons third, #75 Bobby Blake fourth and #5 Steve White
fifth.
