(May 1,2010, Bradenton, Fl)

It was a great night of weather and racing at the old speedway tonight.  It was hot in the afternoon but the gulf breezes cooled it off to make for perfect weather to go “racin”.  The fans sure got their money’s worth tonight as the largest field of cars in a long time showed up and put on quite a show.  Several drivers from the racetrack formerly known as CCMP invaded the asphalt of Desoto Super Speedway.  This  made for the large field of cars.  A good time was had by all and everybody is looking forward to next week’s racing action.

The  Magic 4 class went a little overboard on action tonight and they will all be called into the office for a strong lecture on the purpose of the class.  There was so much bumping and spinning that there were 7 yellow flags after 3 complete restarts.  Zac Campilonga hit the tractor tire in turn 1 and rolled his car end over end.  Zac then proceeded to do his Evil Kneivel imitation and jumped out of the car and up on its roof with his hands waving a victory wave to the fans.  That brought about the evenings first standing ovation.

The following are tonight’s race results:
