Showers and Storms not enough to spoil Points Opener
May 5, 2019-Blacksburg, SC-By Gray Sutherland
On a Saturday which saw many racetracks fall by the wayside as rain yet again swept through the upstate of South Carolina. One track on the edge of the storms and downpours held out hoping to catch a long enough break. Drivers waited patently in the pits as 118 entries were on the card to run. Patriot Speedway was given an opportunity around 7:00 pm as the rain ceased and the sun actually came out for about 30 minutes. A short practice was given to the drivers and most classes ended up in a qualifying format to reach the mains in a timely manner. In the end, all main events were completed except for Sumo which was the last on the running order as another bulk of heavy rain showers crept their way up Interstate 85. It certainly provided excitement for the 3 drivers Adult Predator as they decided to run their main event as the rain began to steadily fall. It was a big night for Cameron Pack as he collected 2 Junior wins. Tom Spanel and Brandon Harris put up multiple wins in the adult classes. The full list of winners can be found below. Patriot Speedway will be in action this coming week as the Big 3 Challenge Series returns to the track for Race #3 of that series’s schedule. It will be an all day affair with gates opening Saturday morning in Blacksburg. Back in March, the Big 3 pulled over 300 entries to Patriot for their series opener which you can check out here.
