The amateur class winners were invited to participate in the opening ceremonies
of the night show. They were honored in a parade lap. The show also had announcers
(Paul Lindsey and John Vedas), special guest (Tyler Evans), and Miss Sea Breeze
Gracie Winchester ( who sang the National Anthem), arrive in the stadium in
a Ford F650. Top racers were announced in a special, excitement-building presentation
and the evening's racing did not disappoint the fans.
First up were the B class races where Kyle Goerke (Matt Goerke's brother)
won both the 250 and Open while Brandon Westberry won the 125 class. The main
event saw X Games Gold Medalist Kevin Johnson took home a win in the 250 Pro
Class while Ricky Renner dominated the Open and 125 A classes. Unfortunately,
Hart and Huntington's Matt Boni injured himself in qualifying taking him out
of the running for the main event. He and Johnson were the only two racers
that could triple-triple the rhythm section.
The Dash for Cash intermission race was one of the most exciting of the evening.
Boni didn't want to let down the fans so he made the brief event. Casey Hinson,
being rooted on by a very colorful Tyler Evans (who throughout the night took
off his shirt and at another time broke his pit board over his knee), pulled
a race-winning block pass move on Boni to grab the cash prize.
