Only 0.23 seconds
separated Mercenary and Equalizer in the qualifying round. The two fastest
qualifiers were paired up for the first side-by-side of the night. It started pretty
even, but Equalizer pulled away as they hit the cars to land a spot in the final for the
second night in a row.
Even with the problems
Bennett was having with the truck, Clydesdale made this one close. Bad Infulence had
a good run, and it was just enough to get to the Final again.
One more
time, it was Chevy lining up vs. Ford in the Final. Two great trucks, and two
talented drivers.
This was a
very close race. I wouldn't have wanted to be the one that had to call the winner.
Both trucks fired off the starting line and hit the cars in good position.
The track officials gave it to Bad Influence. All I could tell from my angle is that
it was extremely close. Donny will have a chance to tune that new engine before his
next race in Muscle Shoals, AL in August. Watch out, if he gets it running even
faster than it is!
