The first bracket race of the weekend took to the track on Saturday at O’Reilly Raceway Park and watching cars go down track in a competitive setting is always thrilling. The racers spend so much time and effort massaging their cars in the off season trying to get that extra tenth of a second out of it. Watching them put that hard work to good use is good to see. Congratulations to Chris Stephenson, Marty McKinney, Patty Hertenstein, Chad Isley, Joseph Boyden, Collin Richardson, Scott Tuttle and Kieffer Simpson for getting the first win of the season under their belts.
The first couple of races of the season are also a reunion of sorts as people are able to see each other and catch up after the off season. These racers want to do everything possible to win each week but they are very good friends to each other off the track. They help each with parts, make dinners together and spend countless hours at the track and strong friendships are forged. As the season goes on we will look further into some of these relationships and the strong bond these racers share.More photos from the weekend can be found the O'Reilly Raceway Park Flickr page, http://www.flickr.com/photos/21955465@N05/
