It was another round of weekly racing at Tennessee’s Action Track as the racing was as hot as the blistering sun.
The 20 lap Classic Car feature would be up first. Mark Sise had dominated the class all season long but was not in competition which opened the door for a new winner. Travis Ward would lead us to green with Nick Baker and Bryson Phillips in chase. Baker would get loose on the exit of two resulting in him losing all his track position. Trevor Sise was taking the night off from his 604 late model to compete in the Classic cars. He had some engine issues in qualifying but seemed to have them fixed as he picked his way up through into the runner up spot. Baker would loop his #74 machine in turn two bringing out the caution. It would end up being a blessing as he’d be able to restart at the tail but would work his way up to the second spot by race end.
1: #4 Travis Ward
2: #74 Nick Baker
3: #71 Trevor Sise
4: #56 Bryson Phillips
5: #99 Robert Buchanan
Curtis Thomas and Noah Phillips would lead us to green for the Sportsman feature. Thomas had been perfect all day, setting fast time in qualifying and winning his heat race. However, it would be Phillips who put his McCarter Brothers racing #71 on point. The caution would wave on lap 10 slowing the pace. The #18 of Nicholas Phillips had a strong run going in his 2023 debut at the 4-1-1 as he worked on getting himself into the top five. Phillips began to inch away out front but the fight was on Adam Mitchell battled it out with Colby Horner. Seth Jolly had a crash in his heat race which resulted in him starting at the tail of the field but he was on a drive as he looked to redeem himself for his spin in the heat. The caution would wave again on lap 17 for the #92 of Cory Cate who slowed on the exit of turn two setting up a short sprint to the finish. Phillips would hold on to pick up his first win of the year.

The 604 Late Models were up next and what a show they’d put on for the fans in attendance. Mack McCarter would put his #51 on top ahead of Bradley Lewelling, Tyler Price and Brad Seagle in pursuit. Price quickly began to put the heat on Lewelling for the second spot as they chased McCarter. Trouble for the #9 of Jared Witt who pulled off track early with issues. The caution would wave for Tiffany Hensley who went for a wild spin on the backstretch and down into the infield. She’d be okay but her night was over. The fight for the runner up spot was intense as Lewelling and Price would swap the spot several times. Trouble for Tim Bounds on lap 11 as he’d slam the wall on the exit of turn two ending his night short of the finish. Back under green and Lewelling would close in on the leader as they picked their way through lap traffic in the second half of the race. McCarter would hold on to pick up another win.

Nathan Adams and James Burnette would lead us to green for the 20 lap Front Wheel Drive feature. Josh Davis wasn’t far behind as he had began to work on getting the fourth spot just behind the leaders. The top three put some distance on the rest of the pack but they’d find themselves in lap traffic soon. Nathan Adams began to inch away from Burnette as the laps ticked off. Trouble for the #25 of Josh Ramsey who exited the racing surface with mechanical issues. Ray Wyatt was working on getting into the top ten but had problems with his left front brakes as they were glowing from overheating.

Perhaps the race of the night was the Street Stock feature. Austin Byrd put his #13 on top of the scoreboard with Shannon Emery and JD Smith in his tire tracks. Warren McMahan was making his debut in the Henry Racing #B00 and it started off well as he set fast time in qualifying. The success wouldn’t carry over into the feature as he’d pull off track in the opening laps. Ryan Watson and Jerry Hux had a great battle for the fourth spot as the laps ticked off. Trouble for the #7 of Dylan Boggs who went for a spin in turn two bringing out the caution. Emery had a strong second place run going but would break just seven laps short of the finish ending his bid for a win. Austin Byrd would hold on to pick up his first ever win at 411.
