North Florida Speedway 2, Rain 0.

LAKE CITY, FL (9/9) - North Florida Speedway survived two rain delays and
one power outage to deliver a five-division program to the fans who braved
the elements last Saturday night. The track officials did an outstanding job
in twice converting a mud bog back into a race track throughout the night.

Tim Dowling took the lead in the Limited Sportsman feature and was in total
control of the event until the unlucky seventh lap when his #55 suddenly
dropped out with an electrical failure. Brian Scott picked up where Dowling
left off with the lead but had some challenges along the way. Chadd Brinkley
made hard contact with the front stretch wall on the 11th lap and the
severity of the wreck - which was felt in the stands and the scoring tower -
mandated a red flag condition. Brinkley was in his car for several minutes
as he worked his way through a concussion, but eventually was able to leave
his car and was fortunate to escape serious injury. This was the final race
of the night and due to the lateness of the hour, the event was called.
Initially the race was declared incomplete and was going to be rescheduled,
but upon further review, the decision was made to call the race complete and
pay according to the finish on the last completed lap. Brian Scott was
declared the winner followed by Johnny Whitely, Gary Palmer, David Ponton,
and Brinkley in that order.

Nick Reid led the Street Stock feature for approximately 100 yards before
Dean Sands blew him and everyone else away by taking the lead on the first
turn of the first lap and leading every lap to pick up victory #14. Dewey
Hall made the only other pass of the race when he got by Reid a few laps
later. At the pay window, the order read Sands, Hall, Reid, T.C. Broadway,
and Richard Reed.

The Hobby Stocks got in only two laps of their feature before the lights
went out in turns three and four. Just as the lighting problem had been
resolved the skies opened up and delayed the show for a little over an hour.
When the green flag dropped again Scotty Nolan raced away from a strong
field of cars and took an impressive win. John Ward made a strong charge
through the field but had nothing for the leader and had to settle for
second. Timmy Roach was third with William Martin fourth and Heath Walker
fifth.

Pure Stocks saw a race break out during a wrestling match. With more scraps
and feuds than a Wrestlemania card could hold, officials were kept busy
during every lap of this brawl. Somehow enough green flag laps were scored
to declare a race had taken place and Gerald Lewis, who was one of the very
few who stayed away from the piledrivers and flying chairs, earned his
second win of the year. Jesse Sullivan also escaped largely unscathed to
take second. Beyond those positions, carnage and pestilence followed. The
survivors for third through fifth were Dean Jarvis, Dean Mathison, and Clay
McRae.

Mini Stocks finally got to run a race that had been rained out weeks ago.
Steven Bennett took the lead on the first lap and soon established his own
area code as he easily outran his competitors. A good three-way battle for
second kept the fans entertained as Joey Brinson did battle with Freddie
Daniels and Justin Carney. The race ran with very few incidents and the
finishing order read Bennett, Daniels, Brinson. Carney, and James Conway.

Mini Sprints and Sprint Cars join the Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, and Pure
