Andy Bradley led the starting field of the MMSA main event to the green flag, and led the first lap with Lynn Ambrose in tow. Scott Bradley took the second spot away from Ambrose on lap two, and began to set his sights on Andy Bradley. The caution flew for the first time on lap three for a safety issue on the backstretch. On the restart, Ambrose darted under Scott Bradley to take the second position, only to have to give it back due to a caution for Jeremy Perdue. The second attempt at the lap three restart was successful, as Andy Bradley stuck to the low groove and pulled out to a five car advantage over Scott Bradley. Behind him, a battle for fourth began to take shape between Colin Ambrose and Doug Jones. Ambrose was able to hold on to the spot in fourth. By lap seven, Andy Bradley had opened his lead to three quarters of a straightaway over Lynn Ambrose. That lead would vanish, as the caution flew on lap eight for the Seth Motsinger car. On the restart, Bradley immediately jumped out to a six car length advantage over Lynn Ambrose. At the same time, Jones moved around Scott Bradley and Collin Ambrose for third. At the halfway point, it was Andy Bradley, Lynn Ambrose, Jones, Scott Bradley, and Colin Ambrose rounding out the top five. The caution flew again on lap 12, as Colin Parker and Austin Archdale both spun in turn two. With eight laps to go, Andy Bradley took the field to the green flag. Ambrose and Scott Bradley dueled side by side for second, with Bradley taking the position on lap 13. Disaster struck the leader Andy Bradley on lap 14, as he dropped off the pace, giving the lead to Scott Bradley. With four to go, Bradley and Ambrose ran nose to tail for the lead. The caution flag flew on lap 17, bunching up the field for the final three laps. Bradley jumped out to a three car lead just before the caution flew for a three car accident in turn two. Bradley took the two to go signal and began to pull away from Lynn Ambrose again, and cruised to the victory over Lynn Ambrose, Collin Ambrose, Kerry Kinser, and Kenny Burr.

We were pleased to see Bill Felker, father of former mini sprint driver, and  USAC midget racer, A.J. Felker, at Brownstown Speedway Saturday night.  Bill has had a lot of health problems and has been unable to attend many races.  Thanks to Bill and Doug Jones of Dad’s Muffler for bringing Bill to the races.

The MMSA thanks all the people of Brownstown Speedway for allowing us to race at their fine facility. This is the first time in years that the upright mini sprints have been invited to race at Brownstown.  We are looking forward to racing with you again in 2010.
