"I won both my heats on the 500 and the 750. On the 750, however, I had to work for it. I got up under Steve Beattie on the very last lap in turns three and four, and beat him to the stripe by about a wheel. We had second-fastest heat behind (Mike) Hacker, and Paul Lynch had won his heat, he was third-fastest.

"In the 500 main event, got off the line third behind (Dan) Stanley and (Bryan) Smith, and I really had nothing for those guys. We struggled a little bit in the main event. The track had changed a little bit, and we missed our setup for the main, and those guys just rode away from me. I settled in a little bit halfway through the race and kind of held my ground with them, but never really could make any progress. Those guys inched away from me at the end.

"In the 750 main, I got off the line about third, (Kevin) Varnes was leading and Paul Lynch was second. Lynch got by Varnes and I got by Varnes, and I got by Lynch about lap three, then pretty much blocked it the rest of the way. Those guys were pretty much nose-to-tail to me. Hacker was a distant third for a while but gained on us toward the end.

"I just held my line and made 'em go around me, and they weren't able to. I've got to tip my hat to Paul Lynch, it was a real good finish for him. He ran a good ten lap race last night. He was right on my butt and I had to ride somewhat defensively to keep him behind me. Turns three and four turned into a one-line affair at the bottom, and turns one and two were kind of a free-for-all. It seemed like there was only one fast line around the racetrack in the main event, whereas in the heat races and practice you could run anywhere you wanted.
