Day three ended much earlier than day 2. Fans got to leave by ll:00 P.M. which was much earlier than the l a.m. departure of the night before. But just when you think it is safe to get into bed just a little early, that old funny sound of a flat tire on I-95 makes sure that there is no early to bed.
After a long, dusty day, we sat on the side of I-95 for over an hour before a nice truck driver stopped to see why this crazy woman was walking down the side of I-95 at l:00 in the morning. You know those things we have on the side of the road called "call boxes" well I called, no one came. Just as he got the lug nuts loose for us and put on the old domut spare, the battery went dead. No jumper cables so we got our first ride in a semi to our house so I could get my car and jumper cables. If not for this truck driver, I don't know how long we would have spent on that dark road. But thank goodness, the truck driver was a race fan and a racer.
Day three saw Jason Boyd once again take wins in both the modified division and the Late model division. It was nice to see some of the Indiana mods back from Lake City and the Blue-Grey Mod race. I am sure that tonight the mod field was much bigger but due to very little sleep from flat tires, they will have to race without me tonight.
The biggest excitement of the night was Dick Anderson in the #92 and Louie Mechalides (a Busch North driver) fight for the lead and both end up not finishing the race. Anderson had the 92 on the wall but was able to get out and told fans that "he would be on the track tonight, right back in the shape he was". Mechalides was able to drive his car back to the pits but this accident caused another which involved Justin Drawdy in the 12. Drawdy was fine but his car is having a very rough series. Hopefully for Justin, tonight was much better.
The 911 Top Cops put on a great show that the fans loved and also the fans and crews in the pits. With lights flashing, horns sounding, these police officers put on one heck of a show. Talking about some excitement, they can give it especially with those lights just a flashing. They were also on the program for tonight and I was looking forward to seeing them again, but lack of sleep won tonight.
The Minis have one more night of hot racing after tonight and the mini-truck is certainly one to watch. That little thing does scoot. Seems to always find the front of the pack easily. But there is still a very good field behind it and the win tonight and tomorrow night could be anyone's.
The mission for tomorrow night, talking to the NASCAR Tour Type young lions. There are quite a few of 21 and under racers in this fast action field and when you say fast, they are. Do these young lions come from carts or just luck, something to definitely find out.
As day 4 goes on without me, I look forward to day 5 and seeing what will happen next. And for that nice trucker, Steve Jackson, thanks for trusting me to not hijack your truck and helping us get home. You did alot asking nothing in return except a phone call to let you know that we were okay. Thanks
Jane Smith
