The
modified street class began the night's racing action with Brad
Davis grabbing an early lead and keeping a hard charging Greg
Estes behind him. Dustin Shaver had a great qualifying time
and started up on row one but fell to third as the race came
to a close. Davis who was celebrating his 40th birthday thanked
his crew and fans and also gave the track workers credit for
a super smooth racing surface.

The super late models took the track next with the qualifying
record-holder Rick Rogers and Steve Smith alongside him on the
front row. Rogers grabbed a large lead as the race began but
shortly after the mid-point Smith was in striking distance.
The leaders struggled at times to get around the lap traffic
but did so without incident. Smith could only get a nose close
to Rogers who finished the race off with the victory and gave
Hoosier tires their first Tazewell Speedway win of 2009. During
his interview following his win Rogers said, "Thanks to
all my sponsors and crew and thanks to all of you fans up in
the stands."

Up next was the limited late model class. Phillip Nichols found
the lower groove to his liking as he circled the Taz with ease.
Travis Fultz had to come from the middle of the pack and by
the race's end found himself closing in on Nichols. Nichols
closed out the race by crossing the finish line first but lost
by five. As Nichols crossed the scales it was deemed by track
officials that he was five pounds too light giving the win to
Fultz. Greg Estes finished second and Jimmy Calloway took the
third spot.
