Full Results/Summary
Limaland’s second big event of the evening was the annual NRA vs. 305 Challenge. Thirty-eight sprint cars registered to compete in this two-night challenge, which culminates in a final race at Fremont Speedway. Darren Long, who has been noticeably absent from Limaland Motorsports Park competition while competing on the ASCS National Touring Series, worked some of his home-track magic and won round one of the NRA/305 Challenge. Feature number one was the Engine Pro NRA Sprint Invaders vs. 305 Challenge. Luke Hall took an early lead with Jared Horstman and John Ivy in tow. The only red flag of the evening came out on lap five after a restart for debris. Stuart Brubaker flipped several times in turn three after making contact with the wall. Brubaker was able to walk away from the scene and racing resumed. Hall was able to maintain a small advantage over Horstman, but both cars were running the high-line against the wall. Long, who started 12th, had worked his way to third by lap fourteen. A few laps later, Long took advantage of traffic, which was running the leaders’ line, and streaked by on the bottom-side to take the lead. From that point on, it was Darren Long’s race to lose and Luke Hall could do nothing to catch him. JR Stewart maintained his stranglehold on the NRA and Limaland season championship as he finished a solid third.
