Heat race recap
Tim McCreadie overcame an early restart and led all 10 laps in winning the night’s first heat race by 0.653 of a second over third-starting Nick Hoffman. Sammy Mars held off Justin Duty to finish third, as both drivers will join McCreadie and Hoffman in the 30-lap main event. The first caution came for Jonathan Davenport’s heavy contact with the turn-three wall, ripping his right-rear quarter panel, spoiler and decking out; Davenport retired and was credited with 10th. … Drake Troutman earned a flag-to-flag victory in winning the second heat by 2.370 seconds over Trey Mills, who trailed Troutman all 10 laps. Fifth-starting Tyler Erb used a last-lap pass by Chris Simpson to take third, with both drivers clinching spots in the $10,000-to-win Dairyland Showdown opener. … Second-starting Ryan Gustin fired off from the outside front row and led the entire distance of the third heat, winning by 1.792 seconds over Michael Leach, who narrowly edged Ethan Dotson by 0.023 of a second to finish runner up. Dotson settled for third while fifth-starting Cade Dillard rounded out the top-four finishers. … Bobby Pierce dominated the fourth and final heat race, leading all 10 laps and taking the checkers by 2.040 seconds ahead of Dustin Sorensen. Sorensen nearly pinched Dylan Thornton into the turn-two wall on a lap-four restart, allowing Jake Timm to finish third, relegating Thornton to fourth. The night’s second yellow flag flew on the fourth lap when Tim Isenberg clipped an infield tire and spun in turn two; he continued to finish 10th.
