A great night of action here at The Clay by The Bay as 100 cars entered for tonight’s events.
The first Feature of the night was the Precision Kia Street Stocks. On the front row was Sheffield and Kruse leading them to the green flag. But it was Clarence Pratt picking up his second win of the season as he held off the hard charging of current points leader Donnie Reed who picked up second place. Finishing third was Thomas Pratt, fourth went to Billy Carlbert, Jr. Buck Woodhouse finished in the fifth position. Howard Osteen and Donnie Reed picked up the heat wins.

Next up were the Old Time Mods. Roger Herbach picked up his first win of the season and held off Zack Amundsen for several laps before spinning out with just a handful of laps left. That moved Don Land into second and Zack coming back to finish in the third position.

Points Leader Bryan Bernhardt and David Schmauss led the Racecar Engineering Late Models for 25 Laps of side by side action. Several cautions came out through out the race but Schmauss never looked back on the re-starts. David Schmauss was able to hold off last years defending Champion Jeff Mathews for the Win. Mathews finished second while current points leader Bryan Bernhardt finished third, Alex Boerner and Mavrick Varnadore rounded out the top five. Brothers Mavrick and Travis Varnadore both picked up the heat wins.

After becoming a daddy just 3 days ago, Danny Martin, Jr. led the entire race for the East Bay Sprints. Second went to Tim George, followed by Travis Bliemeister, Clint Reynolds and Dakotah Stephens. Heat winners were Tim George and Danny Martin, Jr.

Thirty Three cars registered for the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers. Top 7 from the 3 heats advanced to the A-Main. Kever Raulerson, Jim Baker and Robert Purcell advanced from the B-Main into the A-Main. It was the 8X of Richie Acres and Troy Dittebrand battling it out with 3 laps to go and crossing the finish line first was Acres. But during Post Race inspection, Acres was disqualified failing muffler inspection. Thus, handing over the win to Troy Dittebrand. Michael Eaton, Richard Humfeld, Johnnie Alexander and Robert Kissam were your Top 5. Don T. Quinn, Thomas Burnside and Jimmy Odell picked up the heat wins.

In the Dirt Daubers, it was William Bolle in his Bill Elliott throw back to win his first Feature.
