The rain was a threat all day, but officials worked hard to get Tennessee’s action track in shape for the Scott Sexton Memorial. They did just that as we saw three tracks records fall in qualifying.
The first race of the night was the 604 Late Model feature. Zach Sise and Bradley Lewelling would lead us to green in the first race in front of fans at the 4-1-1 since February. The two would drag race down the back with Sise taking the lead into three. Sise, Lewelling, Jed Emert and Mack McCarter were your top four on the start. With Sise inching away out front the battle was on for the 4th spot with Jason Cardwell and Mack McCarter fighting it out. Logan Roberson and Clay Coghlan also had a great battle for position. McCarter had made his way up to challenge Lewelling for the third spot when the two got together in turn three ending both their nights. Cardwell would close the gap in slightly as Sise picked his way through slower traffic. He had run out of time as Zach Sise picked up the win.

Next up was the Open Wheel Modified feature. Trouble would find long time racer Billy Palmer and the #23 of Todd Beeler as they tangled in the first lap of the race. They would both be able to continue with just cosmetic damage. With the green waving again, it was Blake Brown who took control of the field on the start with Jeremy Payne, Jeff Hamby, and Jamie Mosley in chase. Trouble for the #48 of Kirk Turner who brought out two early cautions and had to retire for the evening. Contact between Hamby and Mosley as they fought it out for position in the early laps. Billy Palmer would have to pull off track with mechanical issues. Brown was running away with the lead out front, but the fight was intense between Hamby and Payne as Payne took the position away with a power move going into turn three. Brown would pull away to a huge lead and pick up the win.

Next up was the ground pounding Super Late Models for the Scott Sexton Memorial paying $10,052 to win. Dustin Linville set fast time in qualifying setting a new track record in the process. However, a broke oil pump belt would keep him from starting on the front row. The green waved and the strong field went screaming into turn one. Cory Hedgecock would come out with the top spot ahead of Scott James, Jason Hiett, Donald McIntosh, and Dale McDowell your top five. Trouble would find John Ownbey early as he pulled off track with mechanical issues early. Ryan King was a man on a mission picking up spots but would get together with the #7 of McIntosh ending his bid for a good finish. The #44 of Colton Burdette was putting on a clinic as he had worked himself into the second spot. Trouble for the multi time Hangover winner Donald McIntosh who slowed with problems. Burdette had found some speed on the bottom as he reeled in Hegecock. He would get the nose of his #44 under the leader coming off turn two but the momentum kept Hedgecock out front. Seeing what was going on Hedgecock moved his line to the bottom taking away the advantage from Burdette. Hedgecock would inch away in the final laps to pick up another win at 411.

Next up was the 602 Late Models. Josh Driskill and Spencer Singleton would start on the front of the strong field for the feature. Driskill took off with the lead ahead of Singleton, Taylor Cole, and David Miley your top runners. A wild ride for the #4 of Jacob Parris who flipped in between turns one and two. He would be okay but had heavy damage on his machine. Back to green and Booger Brooks was set on go as he picked them up quickly in his march to the front of the field. His drive would take him all the way to the front where he would get the lead and pull away in the end to get another win.

Next up was the B-Hobby/Super Street feature. Another track record would fall in qualifying as David Clark shattered the old track record. It would be Clark and Logan Hickey on the front row to start us off. Hickey would use the momentum on the outside to rocket into the lead ahead of Clark, Shane Taylor, Mike Hodge, and Josh Henry. Trouble for the #M2 of Mike Hodge who slowed, Hodge was making his return to 411 and unfortunately it ended early. The caution would wave for the #44 of McKenlee Hall who came to a stop in turn three. Back under green Taylor was on go as he moved his #20 under the second place David Clark to try and get the spot. Up front it was all Logan Hickey who pulled away for the win.

The final race of the night was the 20 lap Classic Car feature. One of the three track records broken tonight would be by Lee Merritt as he broke a long-standing record. The green waved and it would be John Stevens who took the with Merritt, Eli Keck, Adam Engel, and Will Carey in chase. This would be the race of the night as the entire top five were under a blanket the entire race. Trouble for the #11 of Tim Bounds who made hard contact with the backstretch wall ending his night. It was a show stealing race for the Classic guys as Stevens, Merritt, Keck, and Engel battled it out. Stevens would hold onto win his third straight race.
