NAVY DAVY'S SHOTS OF THE WEEK!!!

".........it all started Wednesday night at The Superior Speedway for a WDRL show. It was a hot and humid night. I was waiting for that big air conditioner just to the north to kick in but it never did. The track was great and the racing was pretty darn good too. Jimmy Mars was the class of the field that night making his win in the 50 lap feature look easy.
Thursday found us back at Cedar Lake Speedway for night one of the 21st Annual USA Nationals. With another beautiful night WDRL was on hand for another great 50 lap feature. On hand also were the Nascar Superstocks. Mike Weber won the feature. The 50 lap WDRL feature went to John Kaanta who held off Jimmy Mars after a lap 41 caution.
Friday night we were once again at Cedar Lake for night two of the USA Nationals. With 50 cars taking qualifying, a full show of Nascar Late Models, six USA National heat races and a pole dash the night was topped off with another 50 lap WDRL feature which was a make up from the Masters back in June the fans got more than their monies worth. It just doesn't get any better for us Late Model nuts. The track held up well and the racing was as good as it gets. In the Nascar feature Pat Doar and Rick Hanestead ran side by side for 20 plus laps before they got into lapped traffic at which time Hanestead pulled away for the win. A very excited Brady Smith entered victory lane after the 50 lap WDRL feature. It was a great night.
Saturday was third and final night of racing at Cedar Lake. What another great night it was. On tap this night was another full show of Nascar Late Models, two 20 lap B-Mains for the last chance to get into the 100 lap USA Nationals and of course the 100 lap feature. After Friday night I thought maybe Saturday would be a yawner. Boy was I wrong. The final night of the 21st Annual USA Nationals was as good as it gets. In the Nascar 30 lap feature Kerry Hanson in the 4 car took off in the lead and stayed there for ten or so laps. Brent Larson and Lance Mathees were making their way through the field. Larson grabbed the top spot as Hanson fades back. Right there with Larson was Mathees and these two fought back and forth for the remainder with Larson getting the win less than a car length in front of Mathees. After some track prep the 100 lap feature was next. With the lights turned off and spot lights and smoke the feature cars entered the track one by one. This was another great race. There were several leaders at different points throughout. Early in the race there was one scary moment when Eric Pember lost a tire in turn four and rolled his car. Fortunately he wasn't hurt. Can't say the same for his car though. After 99 laps it came down to Scott Bloomquist, Shannon Babb, and Brian Birkhofer. Birkhofer had a flat tire earlier in the race and had to start at the rear and worked his way back to third. It was nearly a three wide finish to another great night. Bloomquist was the winner.
After attending all 21 USA National events this I think was the best yet. As I said all weekend "it just don't get no better than this".
Each of this weeks shots comes from all four great nights. See you at the races.................."
