It was another great night of weekly racing action at Tennessee’s Action Track.
The Sportsman feature would be up first. The #5 of Curis Thomas would set fast time in qualifying and win his heat, putting him on pole for the A main. The green waved and Thomas put himself on point with Corey Cate, Reed Hatchett and Chandler Hickman in chase. The fight for the runner up spot was intense in the opening laps as Hatchett immediately put pressure on Cate. Thomas was setting sail out front but it was a battle for the fourth position as Colby Horner and David Beeler dueled it out. Horner would take the spot a couple laps later setting his sights on Cate. Just halfway and Thomas had caught the tail-end of the field putting guys a lap down. He’d have the rest of the race on cruise control and picked up the win.

Brady Lee would lead us to green for the Street Stock feature ahead of Shannon Emery, JD Smith, Josh Driskill and Chris Kelly. It was a great battle for the third spot in the opening laps as Josh Driskill worked over JD Smith. The caution would wave a lap later as the #7 of Kelly would loop his machine in turn four. Back under green and the #12 of Mark Brady began to inch his way forward moving past Driskill. However Driskill would slip back by the next lap taking the position back. Up front Lee was running away with it as he put some distance on Emery who still held down the runner up position. Lee would go on to score the victory.

The 20 lap Front Wheel Drive feature was up next. James Burnett had some tough luck last week in the big $1,000 to win race, having mechanical issues after leading early on. He and Austin Maples would lead us to green in this one with Daniel Dyer, and Ricky Ritenour making up your top runners on the start. The #25 of Josh Ramsey had issues in his heat race but was on a drive from the rear of the field. Maples looked like he might have the best car but would pull off from the lead with mechanical issues. Burnett would pull away to a comfortable lead out front with Dyer now in the second position. Trouble for the #72 of Darryl Teffeteller who slowed with mechanical issues in the closing laps. Up front, it would be all Burnett as he would pull away and pick up another win.

The ground pounding 604 Late Models were up next for a 25 lap feature. Heath Alvey and Baily Cardwell would show the way in the A main. Alvey would take over with Cardwell, Brad Seagle, Mark Green and AJ Hicks your initial top five. Bradley Lewelling got damaged in his heat race and had to start from the rear for the feature. He’d be on a mission as he quickly moved his way up through the fiend and was into the top five soon. Trouble for the #7 of Tiffany Hensley who went for a spin bringing out the caution. Back under green and trouble would also find the #59 of Shan Sise who looped his machine in turn two. Lewelling had now worked his way into the third spot with his sights set on Cardwell for second. Mitchel Childress would turn up the heat on Brad Seagle as they fought it out just behind the leaders. Alvey would hold on to pick up his first win of 2023 at the 4-1-1.

Hickman would experience mechanical issues and retire short of the finish. The two remaining cars put on a great battle for the lead as they raced bumper to bumper for multiple laps. Finally on lap 10, Davenport would power to the outside and take the lead away. He’d pull away in the second half to pick up another victory.
