the main event Kid Rocket drove a fast and furious race and by lap 30 of the

was solidly in fourth and moving forward when on lap 51 Kid Rocket would
slow and bring out the caution for a flat tire after running over a piece of
a header that had fallen to the track from another car. After changing tires
and rejoining the field on the tail for the last nine laps Kid Rocket
managed to finish 12th.
