Tasca's body and chassis are the ex-Force car that set top speed of meet in Englishtown a few years back with 323 mph. They leave together, but then it is all Chesterman. Tasca got out of the groove and close to the centerline and then collected the 1000-foot cones.

Newberry has been getting his tune up by cell phone as he crew chief is back home with some health issues. Newberry is just little too quick on the tree and Ray runs a career best E.T. for lane choice in the final.

 

sure was nice to see Chesterman get past Townsend. Man what a race weekend, would have love to have been there!
