Jason Haynes brought the #19 Jayski Bandoleo 2nd after starting 9th [of 18] at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway’s Hardee’s Summer Shootout on Tuesday. Jason slowly moved up thru the field, masterfully handling the restart by choosing the outside lane to make up some track position and was making a run at the leader, but was held up by a slower lapped car [#38] which delayed Jason’s run at the leader until late, crossing the checkers a car length behind….nice job! Peg, Drew and Jenny joined me for my first ever viewing of the Summer Shootout, which started at 7:30pm/et and ended at 10:30pm/et with a nice run by the Thunder Roadsters [won by Kyle Beattie] and a wild CrashCar race. With a record 226 race cars in the pit area, only three of the eight feature races in the Amoco Ultimate-sponsored program went the scheduled 20-lap distance as numerous spins and minor accidents slowed the action. Fireworks will light up the sky during round three of the 10-week Hardee’s Summer Shootout Tuesday night, June 28. Kicking off the area’s Independence Day celebration, the Amoco Ultimate-sponsored program will include the seven regular divisions of Legends Car, Bandolero and Thunder Roadster racing along with the radical CRASHCars. Spectator gates opens at 5 p.m. with feature racing at 7:30. The fireworks extravaganza will follow the racing program at approximately 10:15 p.m. Call 1-800-455-FANS.(see full article and results of all the classes at lowesmotorspeedway.com.(6-22-2005)
