4.9.21 411 Motor Speedway Results
After a long break it was back to action at Tennessee’s Action Track. The stands were packed and so were the pits with 120 cars on hand to do battle in the first Big 6 points races of the season.
The Classic Cars were up first for their 20 lap feature. Will Carey and Ritchie Overholser would lead us to green. Lee Merritt started in the second row but began slipping back in the early laps. The field was setting a fast pace and quickly caught up to the tail end of the field. The #35 of Mark Sise would have a mechanical issues going down the front-stretch and clipped the #78 of Merritt. Merritt would spin down into the infield and flip over. He was okay but was obviously done for the night with heavy damage. Shaun Sise didn’t have a very good starting position but was charging through the pack in search of another win. He ran down the #16 of Will Carey and made the pass for the lead but would end up spinning in turn four ending his bid for the win. Carey would hold on to score the victory.

The final race of the night would be the 20 lap Front Wheel Drive feature. A strong field of drivers were on hand to close out the night of racing. Cody Rector would lead ahead of James Burnett, Jacob Sharp and Dylan Johnson. The field quickly found themselves in lap traffic as the first half laps ticked away. Some serious break heat was showing on the right front of the #7W of Gregory Wyatt. Burnett had a strong top five run going until he was hooked off the exit of turn two and sent spinning into the infield. He would return to the race but had to restart at the tail. Cody Rector would hold off Jacob Sharp to cross the finish line first. However, both drivers would be disqualified post race for refusal of the “Buy Rule”.
