Aldag Honald Mechanical Sprints push off last this evening, with Shane Wenninger and Randy Sippel setting the pace. Wenninger checked out immediately to lead lap one with Jim Melis trailing. Dannon Tessmer and Justin Miller compete for twelfth place with Yurmanovich looking to join. Wenninger was just lapping traffic when a caution waved for a lapped car of Derek Siegel spinning in turn 3. Wenninger had competition with Donny Goeden and Tim Haddy right behind for the restart. Wenninger wasted no time finding his groove back on the high side with Goeden settled in behind. Haddy found his line and was battling Goeden for second, eventually swapping spots. Lap 13 Wenninger was back in lapped traffic of Josh Teunissen and Douglas Pietz. Wenninger hit all the right spots to keep Goeden from gaining ground as he continued to lap traffic. Jason Johnson maneuvered his way through traffic to battle Melis and put his sights on Haddy. As the laps wound down Wenninger was having a harder and harder time with more lapped traffic to contend with as Goeden was moving in. Goeden eventually passed Wenninger being held up by lap traffic for a short time. Wenninger battled back using lapped traffic to regain the lead; Goeden ran high enough to rub the outside wall.
