It’s Friday the 13th and we’re live at the Chili-Bowl. Hot laps have just finished and we’ve got 68 new drivers that are going to be competing for the three spots in Saturday’s main event.
Parking was a little tight today, so we missed most of hot laps looking for a place to park. But we arrived just in time for the heat races.

Jac Haudenschild who won the 6th heat was turning some of the fastest laps we've seen all week. At times he was faster than both Swindells.

Brandon Hahn went for a scary ride in tonight's final main. He would flip all the way down the backstretch but would walk away from the crash
