Out of Bounds
Making his 1st start in Cup action Larry Sanders scored a 10th place finish, a good debut not crashing out on the Tri-Oval. Randy also turned in a good run on lane 1 running 6 laps before crashing out! Blaming it on the power? Improvements continue on the tub-track, the cup holder that was on the floor is now back on top of the track. In sprint action Mark Williams 2nd place finish is under review due to standing outside his box.
