Summary: 88-Joey breaks right front wheel during parade lap; repairs were made before start of race: 9-Jerry leads, but after about 5 hard laps, 82-Craig goes to the lead. Lap 24 9-Jerry strips his clutch; 101-Jamie contends for lead, but was unable to pass 82-Craig; 82-Craig wins by a comfortable margin.
Summary: 9-Jerry leads the first few laps with a dominating engine; he loses a chain and track position. Later he assumes the lead; goes into turn 1; 82-Craig makes it 2-wide; 101-Jesse makes it 3-wide; needlessly to say, a crash occurs: 6-Chris nearly makes it around the wreck, but is involved also. 6-Chris grenades his engine, (Craig's backup), blew a hole in the block. 101-assumes the lead; 9-Jerry tries to pass 82-Craig low in turn 2; goes up the track and wrecks 82-Craig: 101-Jesse goes on to win his 4th race.
Summary: One of the worst races ever ran concluded with Joey Pullen getting his first victory. For Joey the race was great; but every other kart dropped out by about 10 laps into the race, primarily because of chain problems. Chris dominated early, then Craig led a couple laps. Joey capitalized by having a reliable, but off-the-pace kart.
Summary: A great battle developed on the second lap with 9, 6, and 82 go 3 wide into turn one; 9 spins on a wet spot. On the re-start, 82 leads, 101 is pushing 82, 2 is pushing 101, as they exit turn 2, all three wreck with 82 and 2 climbing the inside bank. 2 goes thru the infield. 82 breaks his drive axle and also collects 6 in the wreck. 9 is untouched.
Later, 101 tries to pass 9 in turn 3; both wreck and 6 is also involved, bending his left suspension. 9 is sidelined by chain problems. 6 makes repairs and cruises to another win.
Summary: 9-Jerry is forced off of the track on lap 1 and breaks his steering; 82-Craig and 6-Chris battle several laps side side; 82-Craig eventually spins; 6-Chris eventully leads and cruises to another victory. The first race for Timmy driving the 101 kart.
Summary---Chris, Craig and Junior have a series of accidents starting with Junior being spun on Lap 1 after Chris contacts Craig sending him into Junior. Junior drives Craig into the turn 4 barrier and on the same lap sends Chris off the track. Chris returns the favor to Junior; and three wide action leads to all three wrecking with Craig slowed by a resulting handling problem. Chris never gets a chance to run down Jerry as his engine expires. Jerry is in control until he spins by himself, and must pass Junior twice in the last 15 laps to win for the first time since 1994. Congratulations to Jerry and the #9 Dodge. It's been a long time coming! Great race.
Summary---Chris leads the first few laps before Junior gets by and never looks back. Jerry, Craig and Jamie are three wide on the backstretch early on. Craig and Jamie is the only real racing as they swap 4th four times before Jamie pulls away following Craig's flat tire. Junior has probably his most impressive win in his career as he nearly laps the field. Jerry continues to run the best he ever has by finishing 2nd. Probably the shortest time for a race; 8+ minutes total time: as there were not any caution laps.
Summary---Chris breaks a throttle on the first start; on the second start, he breaks a chain; Jr. was sick and let Chris drive #2. Chris dominated by lapping the field; Jerry was able to pass Craig, who had an underpowered Kart, and an uninspiring race began and completed, with no caution laps.
Summary---Craig leads the first few laps until Chris gets by bringing Jamie with him. Jamie takes over and leads most of the race. Meanwhile, Junior and Lonnie have a private war and Jerry runs in 4th. After Junior and Lonnie spin a couple times each, Jerry's engine dies, Junior breaks a chain, Craig blows a tire, and Chris is last to retire with engine trouble. Joe is not competitive, but runs a very good race and finishes 3rd. Jamie, who is running out of fuel, is passed dramatically with 5 laps to go by Lonnie. Lonnie claims his first win in his first start.
Summary---Chris works to the front bringing Lonnie with him. Craig and Jerry attempt to keep up with Joe, Foster and Junior close behind. A series of spins involving every kart follows with everyone behind Chris and Lonnie mixing it up. Lonnie drops out, Chris does the same a couple laps later and leaves Craig to fend off Joe. Joe looks inside several times, but is unable to make the pass in a very close finish. Craig claims career win #30 and more importantly his 4th points championship.
