NASCAR 4 in 1 Show
On Saturday, May 14th, we fought the weather off the entire night, and were able to get in the complete race show of ten heat races and four exciting Feature Events. Due to the rain that was forcasted, the crowd was light, but the racing was anything but light, as the Nascar Weekly show continues to be a exciting evening of short track racing at it's finest.
Andy Bozell turned his early season woes around in grand fashion by capturing his 1st Super Late Model feature win of the year Saturday night at Kalamazoo Speedway. Bozell started in the 10th position inheriting the lead on lap 31 from Jeff Ganus. Ganus held on to finish 2nd with Rick Sexton 3rd, Dave Lober 4th and John Chapman 5th. Jerry Drake was 6th with Phil Massuch, Steve Needles, Phil Bozell and Curt Spalding completing the top 10. Heat race winners were Andy Bozell, Jeff Ganus, and Hank Miller.
