Due to a rainy Saturday, Needmore rescheduled it's race until Sunday to give fans a chance to get their racing fix in for the weekend. Drama filled is an understatement for this race. There were banged fenders, tempers, and flips. In the late model race it started with Gene Ross and Steven Roberts on the front row but a tangle between the two on the second lap took them both out and made room for the 56 of Robby Metts who kept his lead until the end. Marking his first late model win of the season. Young gun Michael Ross finished in a strong second place with a lightning fast car. A tangle between Stacey Roberts and Lee Newsome halfway through the race saw the Newsome car hit the inside embankment and do a complete flip. In the Limited division, Gene Maine and Cole Exum were again the front runners and had a battle to the win with Gene Maine taking the checkers.
Superstreet had a new feature winner this year with Gary Shaw taking control of the field and beating out out of towner Bobby Piper who made his debut back in a race car after a serious wreck last year that caused injuries keeping him out for the season. Hobby division was once again the race that had fans lining the fence. Fenders banged, tempers flared, and calls were made. Leon Childs and Ronnie Newsome battled for the lead until an incident on the track sent Newsome to the rear and Childs took over and didn't look back. After the race was over, the second place car of Randy Merwin protested the Childs car and after a complete motor tear down Leon was found to be legal and get the win.
The Enduro had it's fair share of excitement with Jason Lang beating out a field of hungry drivers and following him in second place was regular Wesley Burke who both shook hands and shared a laugh after the race was over. A special race of Skeeter cars saw a dominant Martin Sapp take charge and collect the win with the gold 90 of Ronnie Lieupo right behind him. The night was one for the books for sure and the same is expected at the next race which will be on May 18th, with gates opening at 4pm and racing at 7pm.
