CASA GRANDE, Ariz. The second of six races of the Ernie Mincy Early Thaw Memorial at Central Arizona Raceway drew 123 cars for the six division program.

Fridays weather was much improved over windy and chilly Thursday.

The WISSOTA late models started 23 cars on the high-banked three-eighths-mile dirt track. Opening night winner Dylan Thornton had an outside row one spot but got into the wall in turn two on the first lap. Ricky Weiss went to the infield and the top two from Thursday were out without a lap scored.

The next try led to a seven-car pileup in turn four adding to the carnage.

Nineteen cars tried it again and Clayton Stuckey, the original polesitter, took the lead. More yellow flags before a longer stretch of green-flag racing gave Stuckey clear track and he led all 25 laps for the win.

Don Shaw and Zach Johnson raced each other for many laps for second and Shaw prevailed and Johnson was third.

Northern sport mods were controlled by Mark Martini with Jake Kierstead and Kaden Woodie chasing Martini across the line.

Limited modifieds driver, Lucas Rodin, took control from fourth starting on the first lap and led the entire distance for the win. Jake Smith was second and James Trantina III finished third in the non-stop race.

The stock car checkers went to Mike Albertsen and Denton Koch won the super stocks finale.

The modified main was very competitive with Tate Johnson leading eleven laps with plenty of company seeking a win. On lap 12, Bryson Yeager used the inside line out of turn four to claim the lead.

Yeager had pressure from Troy Morris III and moving to an outside line worked for Morris and with two laps remaining it was Morris upstairs in turn four with a winning pass.

Morris was the winner ahead of Yeager and Tom Berry Jr.

Saturday will be round three and the series resumes next Thursday. Catch all the action on IMCA.tv.
