We appreciate all of you for tuning in tonight. Thanks again to Pro Shocks (www.proshocks.com) for their support of tonight’s coverage.

We will provide an unofficial finish once one can be provided to us in the infield. We got stuck downstairs as a few sprinkles began falling during the NWSMT victory lane ceremonies, forcing the track to put the 100 lap Late Model race on the track in a hurry.
9:02
There were some elevated tempers in the pits after the race between Burt Myers and Frank Fleming crews. Nothing escalated, however, beyond some shouts. Ironically, the two are parked next to each other in the infield.

Comment From Dmc 

What happened on rs
7:55
We’re going under RED FLAG conditions to clean the mess up.
7:55
There is a report of fluid all the way around the track.

John Smith is now rolling and is coming back on track after losing multiple laps.
7:54
Norman, Dauzat and Dupuis also pit.

Comment From Lee 

Thanks guys for your trackside coverage.
7:47
The third group is now underway.
7:46
We’re seeing mostly rear-to-front changes. Left rear tires go to the left front and right rears to right front and vice versa.
7:44
The first group of cars have completed their three-minute work session. Now work on group number-two, which includes Tim Brown, Thomas Stinson, Michael Speeney, Rich Kuiken, Daniel Hemric, Joe Scarbrough and Gary Putnam, are now getting their adjustments.
7:43
From there, some lap-down cars are mixed in with lead-lap cars. We’ll get a full field rundown as soon as we can.

Well, after tonight’s race, the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour will go on a “Summer Vacation” until their next race on Friday, July 6th here at Caraway. Perhaps that has something to do with it?

Many of these teams will be competing on a weekly basis at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC beginning next Saturday night during that Summer stretch.
7:17
Comment From austin 

sounds like alot of beating and banging going on tonight
7:16
According to Seuss’ Twitter, the 11 car suffered a flat tire, causing him to dart into the wall.
7:15
The field will now go under RED FLAG conditions as they get Seuss’ car off the track.
7:15
Mike Norman will be penalized a lap for pulling up to the pace car to pit. That is not allowed. Cars are to stay in line until they get to the pit entrance.
7:15
Seuss’ car will actually have to be attached to two wreckers hammock-style.
7:14
Seuss’ car is being attached to a wrecker. He is out of the car and okay.
7:12
YELLOW FLAG Lap 26: Andy Seuss has turned around in turn four and his No. 11 has backed into the outside wall. It appears that something may have broken beneath that car to send him into the wall according to observers in the press box.
7:11
GREEN FLAG: Another good start for GBIII as Loftin nown has his hands full of Bohn for second.
7:11
There seems to be a right-rear suspension adjustment going on to Hemric’s car. He just made it out of the pits before the green flew.
7:10
Daniel Hemric has taken his car to the attention of his crew on pit road. After a quick stop, he came back out only to come back in.
7:10
Dauzat was eligible for the Free Pass, but has been penalized for the contact and will not receive that award.

Now, as we mentioned before the race, this event will have a halfway break. The caution will fly at the halfway point and the cars will come to pit road. The field will be separated into thirds as they run on the track. The first group will have three minutes to make adjustments and swap tires, if they so choose. No tires can be changed, but fronts can be swapped for rears, lefts for rights, etc.. Then, after three minutes, the teams from the first group must back away and work will begin on the second group of cars. Then, the third group will follow. The race will then restart as they ran at the time of the caution.
7:04
YELLOW FLAG Lap 9: Bryan Dauzat spins in turn four. He is nosed up on the curb that separates the pit entrance from the racetrack.

7:01

In your stead, Chris Fleming, a Bowman-Gray competitor and brother to Frank Fleming, gave our invocation and did a great job.

The autograph session is complete and the drivers have been called into their cars. Driver intros will take place in just a moment with the drivers strapped in. The National Anthem and invocation will follow, with the 150-lap feature going green at 7pm sharp.
6:47
Tim Brown, who has been bad-fast all season long yet still has not won a race this year, told us that he only worried about setting up his Hayes Jewelers No. 83 for the race today. He didn’t worry about a qualifying set up at all, instead hoping to change his luck. He was fast in the first race, only to have a battery issue. He cut a tire while battling at the front of the field in the second race of the year. Last week, Brown finished 11th after more bad luck. He hopes to turn that luck around here today.
6:44
Andy Seuss, a six-time NWSMT winner at Caraway, qualified an uncharacteristic 17th today.

Why?

“I have no idea,” said Seuss in the autograph session. “The car was so tight in the first lap that I was just barely hanging on. On the second lap, it was so loose I thought I was spinning out.”

The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour cars are lining up for the autograph session. As soon as that’s complete, the drivers will strap in for tonight’s 150-lap feature.
6:16
Comment From AJ 

Watch out for Kyle Ebersole as well. He had a nice top 5 finish at South Boston, and I’ve seen him win at Mountain Speedway and run very competitively in the Race of Champions series. Although I’ve never met the guy, I’ll be pulling for him since his hometown (Hummelstown, PA) is about a half hour from me.
6:10
Starting positions of 2012 winners thus far:
Race 1 (Caraway) – Brunnhoelzl – 1st
Race 2 (Caraway) – Loftin – 3rd

I think the winner will come from the first 2 rows

Great point. Indeed they have. Twenty-two cars here tonight, there were 27 last week at South Boston, and 22 and 24 in the first two races at Caraway this year. Plus, to date, there has yet to be a repeat winner.

Again, tonight’s NWSMT race will be run first at 7pm tonight. The race was scheduled to go off at 8, but potential rain showers in the forecast forced the schedule shift. Luckily, the showers seem to be breaking up far before they get here and the sun is still brightly shining here at Caraway.

Smith’s #25 car here today is the car that he is planning to compete with in the Modified events at Bowman-Gray Stadium (NC) this Summer. His primary #25 car has been having some engine issues. Smith is hoping to get out of tonight’s race in goo

Comment From Justin 

I say watch out for that #65 of Danny Bohn 3 strong runs to start the season and now he is having a great day at Caraway, also P.2 to start the race, I think he has the best chance to win tonight.

Again, the track record is 15.664, set two weeks ago by Tim Brown. Already today GBIII was under that time in practice. Could we see the record fall again? We’ll find out shortly.

Daniel Hemric has been putting some serious miles in on the Interstate highways of America lately and will continue to do so this weekend. Last Sunday, Hemric competed in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Thompson International Speedway (CT) with his Hillbilly Racing No. 79 team. Hemric got up into the top-10 early before some bad luck kept him out of contention. After returning to the team’s North Carolina shop on Monday, they began prepping a car for today’s NWSMT race here at Caraway.

Immediately after tonight’s race, Hemric will get in a car and make the overnight drive up to Plymouth Speedway in Indiana for tomorrow’s JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Late Model event. Speed51.com will have live Trackside Now coverage and a Speed 51 Radio broadcast of the Plymouth race on Sunday.

Then, Hemric and his team will travel to Stafford, Connecticut, for next weekend’s Spring Sizzler NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event.

Last week, Brandon Ward won his first-ever NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour event at South Boston Speedway (VA). Ward and his Fishel Racing team are not in attendance here at Caraway today as Ward is competing in the PASS South Super Late Model event at Orange County Speedway (NC).

Speed51.com has staff at the PASS event and will have in-depth coverage next week.

Corey LaJoie is running the Roush-Yates Engines spec motor that has been introduced in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series in his Modified here today. It’s a bit of an R&D effort on this engine. According to the team, the K&N Spec motor is about 10 horsepower less than most of the other built engines on the Whelen Southern Mod Tour, but there is an 80-pound weight break with their motor.

LaJoie was only 19th quickest in first practice as he fought an extremely tight racecar, but improved to second-quick in second practice.

We will have complete practice results momentarily, once provided to us by timing and scoring officials.
4:01
Practice is now complete.  George Brunnhoelzl, III was quickest with a lap of 15.634.  That lap is currently under the all-time NWSMT track qualifying record set here just two weeks ago by Tim Brown at 15.664.
3:36
Second practice has begun. We got stuck in the infield between practices, but we will have results from both sessions following round two.
3:15
The caution has just flown for a solo spin by Michael Speeney in turn two. He didn’t hit anything and drove back to the pits. There are about 10 minutes left in first practice.

We’re headed downstairs to talk with some drivers and get ready for practice, which is set to begin in about 15 minutes.

The only addition to today’s roster that had not made a NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour start this season is Corey LaJoie.  LaJoie has several past NWSMT starts, including a win in his very first series start in 2009 at Atlanta.  This will be LaJoie’s first Modified start since destroying this car last season at Bristol Motor Speedway.
