Sagi Wins Black Friday 100

Alan Sagi took a full shopping cart back to Hagerstown, Maryland Friday night by winning the Black Friday 100 at The Cave Speedway. Building momentum after time trialing 8th in a 17 car field, 2nd place in his heat would send him to the B-Main where he would edge last years Rookie of the Year, Mikey Franklin, by inches to gain his spot in the feature. Competition continues to tighten with fast time set by Mike Franklin at 2.428 and 6th fastest, JP Welsh, at 2.492. Heat wins for the first trophy race of the year were won by Mike Franklin, Nick Canfield, and Mike Parrill. The D-Main sent Matt Williamson on to the C-Main with Jeremy Tinsman claiming the top spot in the C and B-Main taking Joe Shifflett and Sagi to the feature. The feature turned out to be just another ho-hum affair with only 13 lead changes among 4 different drivers. With lead changes almost every lap for the first half, the second half turned into an intense two car battle between Sagi and Tinsman sometimes only separated by inches. But Sagi was flawless in his first ever visit to the "Bentonville Bull Ring" and held on for the win. Finishing 2nd through 6th were Jeremy Tinsman, Mike Parrill, Joe Shifflett, Mike Franklin, and Nick Canfield. In other action Jeremy Tinsman won the third "Race of Champions", a race of the last six different winners at The Cave. Second through 6th were Mike Parrill, Mikey Franklin, Mike Franklin, JP Welsh, and Matt Williamson. Thanks to all my racers and see you Friday, December 1st, for our first pure stock race of the season.
