Race Summary:
In its short history Waynesfield Motor Sports Park had never held a sanctioned race on the ¼ mile track. That all changed Saturday when 2-Time All Star Circuit of Champions title winner Dale Blaney took the Ron Hammons owned 360 to his second win of the weekend.

The 360 sprints of the EFI/NRA Invaders kicked off the night and this would be the first trip to Waynesfield for many of the teams. Preliminary action would see Phil Gressman, Mike Dussel, Dale Blaney, and Mike Brecht taking heat race wins; and Kirk Jeffries and Kent Wolters winning the two B-Mains. As the feature pushed off, 305 driver Dustin Dinan could not get his motor to fire and was forced to surrender his spot to first alternate Mark Hery. At the drop of the green flag, pole sitter Mike Dussel took the early lead over former teammate Mike Brecht, with Phil Gressman right behind. Mike Miller and Dale Blaney traded slide jobs to round out the top-five.

On lap seven, Mike Brecht flipped his second place car in turns three and four while taking the high line just under the wall. This would bring out the red flag and this was the only slow down of the show. After the restart, Mike Dussel would pull out a large lead, but with the help of heavy lapped traffic, Phil Gressman and Dale Blaney closed the gap fast in the final few laps. On the back stretch with just two laps to go, the Gressman car got under and then around the race-long leader. Unfortunately for Gressman, he was not able to enjoy the lead for long. Going into turns three and four on the last lap the "Tall Cool One" Dale Blaney used the high side to snatch the lead and win from "Fast" Phil. "This is a really nice place that has a lot of room for us to race," said the Two Time All Star Champion. "With the way that the track was tonight, it was hard to get off the top with my Appraisal Specialists, Texas Roadhouse car. I had a night off from 410 racing so I brought my car owner George Fisher down here and used this as a test for the Speedweek show.”
