Friday 600 Micro Sprints, 30 Laps:
Brian Carber takes home the 600 Micro win …. Luke Thomas was on his bumper but Brian Carber held on to his lead and scored the feature win. It looked as though it would be Joey Startt’s night, leading the first 25+ laps until his car would no longer cooperate. Carber was quick to assume the lead position and keep it for the balance of the race. The cars were racy throughout the field, passing high and low. Hard chargers Thomas, moving from thirteenth to his second spot and Tyler Walton who raced from his start in 20th to a third place finish put on a great show for the spectators to see. Carber, not a stranger to victory lane at Middleford, lead the pack to the checkered flag. Thomas and Walton followed through as Tyler DeVault and Ryan Greth wrapped up the top five. Complete results are 1) 8C, Brian Carber 2) 2T, Luke Thomas 3) 14T, Tyler Walton 4) 18T, Tyler DeVault 5) 1J, Ryan Greth 6) 19G, Joey Startt 7) 99X, Eric Bodine 8) 6, Andrew Locuson 9) 55K, Robbie Kendall 10) 55S, Sam Lamothe 11) 7H, Ryan Wilson 12) 97, Sam Locuson 13) 11X, Dan Sauder 14) 55, Jay Hartman 15) 7, Tim Barrick 16) 2, Jeff Coffey 17) 65, Stephanie Jones 18) 99, Brad Hughes 19) 17, Carl Locuson 20) 9, Jon Warfield (DNF) 21) 5T, Tyler Ross (DNF) 22) X1, Brock Zearfoss 23) H2O, Chad Clark (DNF) 24) 91, Jeremy Lynch (DNF)

Ryan Smith takes home the 600 Pro Series win …. The race may have been shortened but Ryan Smith deserved the win he raced for. The prize went to Smith following a feature race plagues with cautions, most of which were red flag stops due to damaged cars.

Kudos to the top nine cars who outlasted the rest of the field and took the checkered flag.
