The night was far from a total loss for Stormin’ Norm as he recovered for a top ten finish in his Late Model, then jumped into his Everharts Auto sponsored dirt Modified and fought off a hard charging Kris McCombs the entire distance to record a fourth straight feature event at Hilltop. McCombs won the fast dash and managed to lead a few laps but had to settle for second with Tom Conley, Jesse Wardell and Darrick Hubbard completing the top five. Kevin Potts and Charlie Duncan were heat winners.


Up next, any one of the top five could have won the Pure Stock feature but Fred Snyder demonstrated his championship form to claim tonight’s main event win with Troy Anderson nipping Travis Mensching on the final lap for second. Brandon Gardner and Dave Haven Sr. stayed within striking distance to complete the top five. The Mini Stocks fired off a fast and furious main event before the rains came and Chase Alexander kept Dusty Lint in his rear view mirror to take the win. The truck feature was called due to conditions and will be made up on “Scouts Night” - August 17.
