Jason Welshan Claims 604 Victory

The 4-1-1 was back to racing action for the first time since February with a large crowd on hand. 
 
The 20 lap Classic Car feature would be up first to kick off the racing action. Mark Sise and Christian Runyon would lead us to green on the front row. Trouble would find Shaun Sise as he went for a spin in the opening lap. Back under green and Sise would take control ahead of Runyon, Shaun Sise, Logan Dukes and Marcus Mays. Bobby Mays didn’t have the best qualifying effort but was putting on a clinic as he worked himself up into the top five. Runyon and Mark Sise had an intense battle for the lead until the two got together in turn one sending Sise for a spin ending his bid for the win. Back under green and Bobby Mays had now taken over the lead ahead of Shaun Sise. The caution would wave again for the #74 of Garrett Smith who spun in turn two. Mays would hold on to pick up his first win at 411.

Next up was the 604 Late Models. It was a field stacked with some of the best drivers in the area doing battle. Jason Welshan would lead us to green with Rusty Ballenger, Josh Henry, Greg Martin and Matt Henderson making up your top five on the start. Jason Cardwell and Trey Bayne would swap paint several times beginning early on. Welshan began to inch away in the opening laps and quickly found himself catching up to the tail end of the field. Baily Cardwell turned up the heat on Matt Henderson for the fourth spot as Jason Cardwell tried to follow him up through the field. Trouble for the #95 of Jeremy Webb who came to a stop in turn four bringing out the caution. Going back green saw Baily Cardwell who missed hot laps working his way past Henderson and into the top five. The Strong run Baily Cardwell had going came to an end when he slowed with mechanical issues in the second half of the feature. Welshan would continue to inch away in the final laps to pick up the win.

The Street Stock feature would be up next. Robbie Comer is always a good bet at the 4-1-1 and would once again lead the pack to green. Comer, Josh Driskill, David Clark, Austin Atkins and Charles Devine would make up the top five. Atkins, Devine and Emery had a great battle as they raced three wide down the front for the third position. Scottie Atkins would pull off track with issues and retire early. Up front Comer was pulling away but the battle was on for the runner up spot as David Clark had reeled in Driskill. Clark would get by for the second spot and Driskill would go for a spin shortly after ending his top three run. It was all Robbie Comer who pulled away from David Clark in the final laps to pick up the win.

Adam Mitchell would lead us to green for the 20 lap Sportsman feature with Wayne Rader, Kip Sawyer, Addison Cardwell and Sylvan Schutte in pursuit. Sawyer wasn’t working by the hour as he turned up the heat on Rader for the second spot. Rader had a strong qualifying effort but slipped back through the top five in the opening laps. Cardwell had now moved up to the third spot setting his sights on the #44 of Sawyer for second. The caution waved for the #9 of Jared Whitt who would bring out the caution twice in the span of a couple laps ending his night early. Rader would go for a wild spin on the restart but track officials would end up giving him his position back for the restart. Mitchell looked to have the race in hand until the caution waved with just 3 laps left setting up a restart. Sawyer would get a huge run coming off turn four for the checkered setting up the photo finish with Mitchell inching him out for the win.
