Sunday race day started with firing up of engines shortly after 12 p.m. Like all Sunday races, we only do our Warren Engines Dash for Cash followed by eliminations. Hillarey Marshall started her Sunday off great by picking up the $100.00 Cash prize. She was dialed a 6.34 & ran a 6.3405 @ 106.76 mph. We had 28 cars on the property with 27 making 1st round call. Kevin Locklear had a .0443 package, 6.41 dial, .0292 RT, & ran a 6.4251 @ 105.61 mph & picked up the Victory Lane Golf Carts 1st Round Best Losing Package. Just as in 1st round, the 2nd Round Best Losing Package was also a .0443 package loss for Scotty Galyean. He was dialed a 6.43, had a .0288 RT, & ran a 6.9755 @ 94.66 mph. He was joking saying he won the Best Winning Package on Saturday followed up by the 2nd Round Best Losing Package on Sunday. Scotty was awarded a 5 gallon pail of Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants PRO 112+ racing fuel for his R2 loss. Sunday's semi-finals had Mike Moller taking the loss to Don Shuford & Saturday night's winner Homer Carty taking the loss to Saturday night's semi-finalist, Hillarey Marshall. In the finals, both drivers were tip for tap at the starting line with Hillarey taking a small advantage over Don (.0230 RT to a .0256 RT). Hillarey took the double breakout win over Shuford. Marshall was dialed a 6.34 & ran a 6.3398 @ 103.69 mph for the "W". Shuford was dialed a 6.52 & ran a 6.5097 @ 103.21 mph. Hillarey also received the Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter award for taking out Saturday night's race winner, Homer Carty. In addition to her race winnings, she also received a $100.00 gift certificate from Altronics Inc, a can of FOGGIT, an E3 Ignition certificate for a set of spark plugs, a 50% off one item from Zamp Racing, $100.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance, $100.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, & a 5 gallon pail of Fuel Factory F8 racing fuel.

Charlie Wisecarver was pulling into the staging lanes for E1 when he heard a noise that wasn't supposed to be there so he quickly went back to his pit area. His son, Chad hopped out of his Chevy Cavalier & gave his seat up for his dad so he could continue in the points chase. Charlie was awarded The McLawhorn Racing Hard Luck award & Chad won The Wisecarver Brothers Racing Sportsmanship award. Chad's tech card was also pulled at random for the Half Moon Marketplace "Act of Giving Back" award with a $35.00 Visa gift card. Billy Plage received the Gutters by Design/Worst RT for his .2173 RT during R1.

This weekend officially put us over the hump for the 2024 CCRA season but we still have lots of racing left to do. The CCRA team/officials; Leigh Anne Flynt, myself, Dave & Gloria Ley would like to say THANK YOU to all of our racers that support our association as well as the tracks that welcome us to race at their facilities. Our next weekend is in mid September at Darlington Dragway & hopefully the weather will be a bit cooler by then.

See y'all at the track soon!!!
