Tyler Courtney finished a solid second, while 15-year-old Ryan Timms turned in a remarkable charge, advancing from tenth to third and reminding everyone that talent still finds its way to the front when given half a chance. The race delivered non-stop action, capped by a wild flip in the heat races that had the crowd on its feet and the tow truck earning its keep.
High Limit Racing, the series that knows how to put on a proper show, once again proved why old-school fans are coming back to sprint cars. The newcomer-friendly production on national television kept things moving without the usual nonsense, and the drivers themselves noticed.
