Roach pulls off the upset of the night with a 4.70 win over Baldwin in the 1st Round.

The Williams left early giving the win to Thomas. Unfortunately, there was smoke out the Williams car about mid track caused by engine failure. Hope they can get that mean small block repaired for next week’s race.

Eddie lost traction at the hit while Satterfield continued to show consistency in getting down the track. How about Eddie coming all the way from an alternate spot to the finals?

Congratulations to Clint Satterfield and his team on the win during their first ever race at Dallas Raceway. For those of you who aren't aware, Clint and his crew are making the haul from New Mexico to race with us.

We all know that getting sponsorship money these days is tough. There were three sponsors for this race and here is how their money was distributed. By earning the Top Qualifier, David Baldwin earned $100.00 cash from ACE Racing Transmissions in addition to a $100.00 gift certificate from Nitrous Express (NX). Eddie Roach took home the $100.00 gift certificate from RPM Performance for his best burnout of the night. Brink Racecraft is also on board again this year with money toward the points fund. These sponsors are part of what makes our show better! Please keep these supporters in mind when you need something for your car!

We would like to send out a special thank you to Dallas Raceway for giving us such a great place to race! Also thank you to Gilbert from ACE Racing Transmissions for being race director for the evening.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the first 4.70 race of the season. We'll see everyone next weekend back at the “Concrete Palace” Dallas Raceway!
