The night got underway with Heat #1, with Bertus De Jong and Will Goshen leading the field down to the green flag.
It didn't take long before the caution flew for a spinning Will Goshen a lap and a half into the race off turn 2. Goshen was sent flipping through the air, but was able to continue. Tyler Tucker retired as a result of the damage to his car.
Bertus De Jong and Justin Collison led the field back to green with 9 laps to go. Collison would take over the lead for the next 6 laps as De Jong fell back in the pack.
The caution flew for the second time of the night, when Robert Hill who was being lapped made contact with race leader Justin Collison. Collison was not pleased with Hill and both had to start at the rear of the field on the restart.This gave the lead to Wesley Hoag with 3 laps to go, with Will Goshen starting alongside on the restart.
Caution flew two more times as CASCOR officials had to call the race due to time constraints.Hoag wins Heat #1, Will Goshen finishes 2nd, Justin Collison 3rd, Pete Engelmanas 4th, Bertus De Jong 5th and rounding out the finishing order was Robert Hill in 6th.
Stroski got a good jump on the start to lead lap 1, but Mike Husby who seemed to find some speed in the heats got by Stroski for the lead on lap 2.
The caution came out for the first and only time of the race on lap 8 for an incident between Will Wolf and Tim Johnston off of turn 4, which also collected Jack Stroski in the melee.
Mike Husby resumed the lead as Matt Riley took over second spot on the restart with 2 laps to go. Husby would get a good restart but lacked the grip some of the other drivers had that took tires under caution.
Matt Riley would take a run at Husby on the final lap but came up a car length short of the victory.Husby wins Heat #2, Matt Riley finishes 2nd, Will Wolf came from 6th to 3rd on the final run of the race, Tim Johnston 4th, Andrew Hayes 5th, Jack Stroski 6th and Johnny Williams rounded out the finishing order in 7th.
Pete Engelmanas and Matt Riley led the field down to the green flag for the Tuck Graphics 50. Engelmanas led the first six laps of the race before the first caution came out for a spinning Johnny Williams.
Engelmanas lost the lead on pit road by sliding through his box, and Will Wolf took over the lead as a result.The restart came on lap 10 with Will Wolf taking the high lane with Wesley Hoag starting on the inside lane in second. Wolf would get a good restart, but Hoag would take the lead the next lap, as Wolf took it back the lap after.
Several cautions slowed the field throughout the night, with the final caution coming out with 10 laps to go.Will Wolf and Wesley Hoag once again led the field back to the restart with 6 laps to go. Wolf would get a great jump and pulled away from Hoag on the restart.
Hoag started to reel in Wolf in the final 4 laps but ran out of time, finishing just 3/4's of a car length back of Wolf in a photo finish.Will Wolf wins the first A Feature of the season, Hoag finishes 2nd, Jack Stroski 3rd, Darrell Pace 4th and Will Goshen rounded out the top 5.
The season kicked off with a bang as the double file restarts, heat races and the feature seemed to go somewhat flawlessly all night long. Not to mention a total of 15 cars making the trip out for the first night of the season. CASCOR Administrators thanked the drivers for making it rather easy on them for the first night and the season looks to be one of the most exciting CASCOR has seen in its history.Heat winners on the night were Wesley Hoag and Mike Husby, and Will Wolf took home the A Feature. Next week the series heads to Stafford Motor Speedway for the Stafford 50. Remember to get your entries in before 6:30pm EST Tuesday night! You won't want to miss out on all the crazy action!
