Almost 100 cars on hand in 5 divisions.<\/p>\n<p>First feature of the night went to the Street Stocks.  Another great  battle was held between current points leader Jarod Gay and Billy  Carlbert, Jr. for the last several laps.  Jarod was running the low line  while Carlbert liked the middle where his car seem to work best.<!--more--> As  they went into Turn 3, the two were side by side, when Carlbert hammered  down and come out of Turn 4 with the win. \u201cWe had a lot of things wrong  with the car from the last accident. So we went thru the car and got it  straightened out\u201d said Carlbert in Victory Lane. Jarod Gay picked up  second while Buck Woodhouse finished third. Roy Woodhouse and Jeff  Rodgers rounded out the top 5. Cutis Book and Buck Woodhouse picked up  heat wins.<\/p>\n<p>Next up were the Late Models. Roger Crouse and Phillip Cobb made up  the front row. From the drop of the green flag, Phillip Cobb had the  race in hand. Travis Varnadore made some hard charges at the end but  could not get passed Cobb for the win. Cobb was driving a Barry Wright  chassis and was the same car he won during the NeSmith Crate Late Models  during the 2011 Winternationals. Travis Varnadore finished second while  a hard charging Dennis Williams finished third. Roger Crouse and  Mavrick Varnadore were your top 5. Winning heat races were Cobb and  Crouse.<\/p>\n<p>Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers followed. Raymond Vann and Roberto  Morfin, Sr. battled side by side several laps and then mechanical  issues and both fell out of the race turning over the lead to Thomas  Burnside.

Darrel Taylor picked up ninth while  driving Kayla Jones car.

One  of the cars the did not get caught up in the action and stopping as the  red came out was the 29W of Daniel Woody. Woody quickly jumped out of  his car to go over and make sure Shields was ok. Shields was glad he was  ok, but said the car was not fixable. Tim Gay picked up his second  feature win of the season while holding off several attempts by several  drivers, but is was Daniel Woody picking up the Runner-Up spot. Scotty  Williams picked up third, Ricky Land fourth and Shane Koperda fifth.  Williams and Forrest Gough picked up the heat wins.<\/p>\n<p>The final race of the night belonged to the Dirt Daubers.

But soon was challenged by Brett Phillips.  The two battled throughout the race, but it was Bill Dixon picking up  the win.<\/p>\n<p>On a sad note, East Bay heard that former Late Model driver and past  Champion, Donnie Tanner had passed away early on in the afternoon.
