A lot of fans stuck around to watch their hometown boy win the race (51 Photo).
12:38
It was a thrilling finish when Darrelll Wallace, Jr. and Gresham battled on the final restart, allowing Matt DiBenedetto and Andrew Smith to make it a four-car duel. Gresham cleared everyone coming out of Turn Four to the white and then easily pulled away. DiBenedetto was second, following by Smith (career best), Wallace, and LaJoie. 
12:34
We have been tied up with radio tonight so we only a few updates. Max Gresham won tonight after getting around Darrell Wallace Jr with about 50 laps to go. Gresham then held off Matt DiBenedetto and Andrew Smith for the win. 
11:41
No, I believe most of the local divisions will indeed run later tonight.

Did they cancel all the other races on the schedule?

LAP 69: CAUTION #4 – Wallace, Gresham, Bowman, DiBenedetto, Elliott. Luckily no big carnage yet. 
11:27
Lap 40 – We are under caution. Max Gresham, Darrell Wallace, Jr., Matt DiBenedetto, Alex Bowman, and Chase Elliott your top-five. We are on NASCAR Home Tracks Radio live at NASCARHomeTracks.com, so please keep your ear to that as you keep your eyes here. 
10:59

Renegades just put on a crazy race. Lots of three wide rubbing racing. Brian Sosbee (#50) held off Tony Newman (#838) for the victory by nearly a full lap after making a few early bonzai moves. 
10:42
Comment From RH 

Thanks for the details, you guys do a great job 
10:40
WE WILL BE ON AIR with NASCAR Home Tracks radio. Right around 11 PM. We also have West Series action on NASCAR Home Tracks radio at 11:45. Go to NASCARHomeTracks.com and find the player on the right sidebar. 
10:38

10:20
Drivers have been asked to report to their cars. 
10:20
Dry patches are now becoming visible on the track. 
9:57
No there is no curfew. This race is looking likely that it will start within about an hour if no more rain hits. In fact, the Outlaw Division drivers are out on the track and are giving the wreckers and blowers a helping hand! 
9:55
Comment From Laura 

Is there a racing curfew @ Gresham ?? 
9:42
Comment From MMS Fire&Rescue 

Way to hang in there !!! 
9:41
The real trick to getting the track dry is probably going to be the pit road. It was under at least an inch of standing water when they started bringing out the super driers. 
9:27
Progress is being made on the track. I’m starting to see /some/ gray. 
9:20
Jet Dryers have returned. 
9:13
No change in Gresham; NASCAR has announced they will make every effort to get the race in tonight. 
8:41
We are still waiting on the weather. We are little hopeful for getting the race in at Gresham tonight, but its looking more and more doubtful. 
8:41
Beautiful scene in the rain (51 Photo)
8:10
Right now we have sun shower as the sun is out in three and four, but rain is falling all around the speedway. 
7:57
The rain is slowing and the fans are coming back into the track, but the track is still very wet. The track vehicals are on the track working to get this place dry. It may take a while, but we plan to race tonight. 
7:33
Inclement weather coming (51 Photo)

Comment From CRAIG 

WHAT HAPPEN TO 12 IN 2ND PRACTICE

* Ammendum to the 2:49 post: We meant to say “Local division time trials”. Again, KN PSE at 4:30. 
2:52
Next up is qualifying for the KN Pro Series East at around 4:30. We’re going to go stroll the pits and check in on some teams. Reminder that tonight’s radio broadcast is on hometracks.nascar.com with Elgin Traylor and Tim Quievryn, which will go to air at eight. We also have Duke Kentfield out in Las Vegas with the call of the KN Pro Series West race at about 11:45 PM EST/8:45 PST. 
2:49
The track is now quiet as we have finished time trials.

We will have times from the East Practice in a few minutes. Local cars are on the speedway for their final practice runs. 
2:03
Practice is over and Darrell Wallace was the quick car with a 17.486 
2:00
Looks like Ryan Reed got into the wall coming off turn four. He made it to the pits and we are running the final few laps of practice. 
1:59
We are seeing the X Team cars, DiBenedetto, Suarez, Presnell and Pressley taking a high lane into the corners. 
1:51
Top five:
1 Wallace 17.486
2 LaJoie 17.503

1:42
We are yellow for debris on the track. 
1:41

1:41
Darrell Wallace has moved to the top of the charts. Wallace ran a lap of 17.486. 
1:41
The track has gone back to green here at GMP. 
1:33
We are yellow as the 85 of Tanner Whitten has pounded the wall here in turn four. He drove the car in, but it’s a total wreck. 
1:31
These guys are just playing with us as now Corey LaJoie is on top with a 17.503. Elliott is second, Cody Hodgson is third. 
1:30
Chase Elliott is now the fast man with a 17.590. 
1:30
DJ Shaw is doing a bit better in this practice. He was only on the track for a handful of laps the first time and was at the bottom of the charts. The car is better, but still not in the top 20. 
1:28
Just as we type it, Matt DiBenedetto is on top once again. 
1:27
Ryan Gifford has gone to the top of the charts now with a 17.858 
1:24
We are back to green here at Gresham. 
1:16
it’s hard to say as the track has trackside parking all the way around. When it’s full it’s a site too see. 
1:16
Comment From Lenny 

Whats the capacity at the track 
1:15
Brett Moffitt is on top of the charts, but we had only run like three laps of practice. 
1:15
We are yellow as the 12 is being pushed to the pits and the 85 left under his own power. Whitten has a little wrinkle on the rear of the car, but nothing too bad. 
1:14
Right of the start the 12 of Chad Finchum lost some oil coming into turn four. At the same time the 85 of Tanner Whitten went for a spin. 
1:12
Cars are on the speedway for practice. 
1:05
This is the second and final round of practice for the East cars. 
1:05
The K&N Pro Series wil be on the track next. 
12:48
Trucks are back out. We have an interesting sight right now as Mini Cups are practicing on the tinier quarter-mile oval in the infield with the trucks on the normal half-mile. So we have two practice sessions occurring at the same time. 
12:42
Max Gresham was in the top five in practice. (Speed51.com Photo)
12:21
Trucks are practicing right now as mini stocks just finished a few minutes ago.
