Recap 4/11/2026 Main Feature. A lot on this post. Broxton raced his heart out. He ran 19.538 with 22 cars for traffic. He did everything we asked him to do from the start. Broxton started off in 10th place from his qualifier due to him not running qualifying and wanting to race people. But the Dash Rave got his head back in the game and he raced hard coming in 8th. The race had some controversy to say the least towards the end. During our driver meeting we were told all cautions would be single file and no doubling up. Simple as that. Well the Tower changed it up out of nowhere, and did a high low lane option on a caution. It confused everyone as parents knowing what was said at the driver meeting and the control tower did a 180. Drivers in the rear of the pack were able to move up in the field on the outer lane before the restart on the caution. The tower never communicated this over the radio to any of the drivers or spotters and a cone was put out there for racer interpretation. 16 out of the 22 cars held their inner single formation lane while 6 cars took advantage. To say it pi**ed off a lot of parents is the least I can say. You had good racing going on up front and the tower decided to change things with 5 laps to go. I’ll say this 1) as a retired fireman I have seen children hurt. In unimaginable ways. Kids that are new we don’t want on the outside lane or they’re going to get hurt with the faster racers, simple as that. We had a prior race with 6 spin outs and real close calls. 2) why have qualifying? If you can be awarded back to an unearned spot that you didn’t earn in racing… I saw Broxton and Jeff race hard, for 7th and Jeff is ranked number 3 currently in overall points. Respecting positions and not taking advantage of tower mishap is something we strive on. If your in front of us when the caution happens where going to respect that a race team and not take a freebee.. we have to much character and pride and rather earn our spots with quality racing.
