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.
