Racing fans were treated to special night at Red River Co-op Speedway as
they had the opportunity to meet the stars of NASCAR on Thursday night. The
evening kicked off with an autograph session featuring Michael Waltrip,
Kenny Wallace, Sterling Marlin and Ken Schrader. Fans were later
treated to a Match Race featuring all four drivers running Wissota
Super Stocks. Michael Waltrip was victorious.
In weekly action,
Colin Kendall passed Dan Enns with four laps to go, and then pulled away
from the field to the Wissota Super Stock feature. Lee McRae
took the checkered flag in the Super Truck feature after passing Eric
Guyot with five laps remaining in the 15 lap Main. Ricky Weiss
led for most of the 20 lap feature and went on to win the Late Model
division.
Finally, Shane Edginton celebrated his birthday by
keeping Ward Imrie in check on the closing laps and captured the
checkered flag in Wissota Modified action.
The evening was
concluded with a spectacular fireworks display.
