Billy Boyd  took the lead on the start and he took the win. The 3 of Travis Bliemenester had  the pole for the SIMPSON heat race, with Danny Martin in the 24 car on the  outside. It was the 24 that made the better start and took the second heat win.  Kerry Gilbert in the 55 car had the pole with Robbie Smith in the 6S for the  start of the WELD RACING heat race. Robbie Smith took the lead and on the last  lap he spun on back stretch and Stephen Darvalics in the 41 passed him and took  the heat win.<\/p>\n<p>The Z1 of Harley Zimmerman had the pole for the start of  the BOOMTRUX.COM feature race event, with the 24 of Danny Martin alongside.
