Stock Cars on the Figure 8 – 8/25/26

 

It was back to the Figure 8 to run Stock Cars in this week’s MVH Tuesday Night Retro race. A field of seven ran in the 4-on/3-off format, driving the outside four lanes first and then moving to the inside four, all over fourteen heats.

 

Noah Ball was posting the fastest times in practice and once the race began moved to the head of the field. By the move to inside lanes, Noah had logged 213 laps and was five laps up on Woody Hazelwood while Dave Panich was another five laps back in third. Joe Yates was looking for a podium finish with 211 laps, just three laps behind Dave. Richard Payne and Rolly Lapierre Jr. were fairly close to each other in the race for fifth with 191 and 186 laps respectively while John Mills didn’t have the best start and closed out the field fifteen laps out of sixth.

 

Noah continued to drive away from the field in the second half, taking the win by ten laps over Woody. Joe saw his podium dreams fade late in the race, dropping fourteen laps back to Dave who completed the podium, but Joe managed to finish well ahead of Richard in fifth. Rolly and John closed out the field.

 

Noah’s 3.179 on green was the fastest lap of the night as Woody and Dave both posted best lap times in the 3.2s, but a half and full tenth slower.
