HOT!!! That pretty much describes the Day at Sunset Speedway.

The weather was Hot, The Crowd was Hot, The Racing was Hot and at the end of the day some Folks were Hot under the collar.

Sunset was host to the Vintage Modified’s, the OSCAAR Super Late’s and our own Owens Corning Mini Stocks. The TIM-BR Mart Super Stocks and the Sheetrock Late Models had a much deserved night off.

The Mini Stocks saw 28 cars take the green with the #03 of Ken Donaldson Jr. take the checkered flag.

The Vintage Modified’s started 20 cars and the #18 of Jason Keen was the Victor.

WOW… What A Wild and Wholly race the OSCAAR’s put on. With 21 cars starting the feature a mere 8 survived until the end. Two Red Flag’s dragged the show out. One Red Flag was the result of a Non-Race related medical situation in the pits and the St John Medical First Response were unavailable, halting the race. The second Red Flag was for a multi car wreck that took out a large portion of the field. There were No Injuries but a lot of torn up sheet metal. When all was said and done, the #22 of Glenn Watson, stood atop the podium as the race winner.

Threatening Skies and a Poor Weather Forecast kept many of the fans away but NOT the Drivers. Stout car counts in all divisions thrilled the Smallish crowd to some fine racing. The rains stayed away and Sunset was able to get in a full schedule of races. Dwayne “The Bully” Baker won the Late Model feature, Kyle “Wheely” Donaldson captured his Seventh Feature race of the season and Kevin “Hackit” VandeBeek won his second feature in as many weeks.

Up next is the OSCAAR Super Late Models, the Vintage Modified’s and the Sunset Mini Stocks, on July 3.
