Joe Shear Classic

It was a gorgeous weekend to spend at the race track. Great car counts made for a really great Super Late Model race. The best of the best battled it out but the competition between members of the Sauter family will not be forgotten. 

Travis Sauter won the event but his uncle Johnny Sauter was dominant. Johnny took quick time and battled with nephew Travis while his father Tim was not far behind riding in the top 5 most of the event. Bother Tim and Johnny had some trouble late in the race but Travis was the elite in the field getting back in the front with only a couple laps to go.

Another noted event was sadly that Jeremy Miller executed a bump and run on the last corner of the last lap of the last chance race. It looked like he was going to pull it off until his front right wheel came in contact with the rear wheel causing his car to jerk the wheels left and send him sideways into the inner pit wall. It hit with such velocity that the barriers separated and shards of concrete flew 30 feet in the air. Jeremy hopped out fine but told me that was one of the hardest hits he's taken.
