NADCAR Points Race #8

6/27 - Great racing at PVR this Saturday Night produced yet another first time heat race winner. John Ogden lived up to his Speedy Gonzalez character and shot from the outside front row in the first heat to hold off two time NADCAR points champion Mike Williams for the win. Mike Bracy took home another heat race win for the year in heat two just ahead of the #32 Coupe of Cliff Lee. Pat Henesey starting from the back row of heat three predicted he would lead the field by the end of lap one. His wife, Helen, had something to say about that as she ran up front early in the heat. Helen had to give the top spot up on lap 3 as her car had ignition trouble and didn't have the power to hold off Pat. Guess who her mechanic is.

The two wide main event lineup took the green with the outside lane on the move as the inside lane got bottled up. Cliff Lee's #32 Yamaha FJ 1200 powered Dwarf Car Co. Coupe found the early line to lead the field. Mike Dunn got a rare start from row 4 to pull into second and stalked Cliff for the first 12 laps looking for a mistake. While the two leaders stayed steady at the front, the remainder of the field put on a show of position swapping for the big crowd in attendance. Mike Williams moved his way into third. The mistake from Cliff coming off turn four was all Dunn needed to run it in side by side with Cliff into one. Dunn edged out Cliff on the back straight for the top spot. Mike Williams found his way around Cliff and put a target on Dunn. An inside move in turn two by Williams just as his steering u-joint failed almost sent both trucks into the back straight wall. Dunn regained control and the lead until the checkered flag. Mike Moyer still driving with a fractured left arm takes yet another second place finish with Cliff Lee holding onto third.
