3rd Ryan Broughton
Scott Bradley takes Thunder Valley
Friday 4/25
The MMSA rolled into the Thunder Valley Raceway in Salem, Indiana
Friday night. Ninteen cars signed in.
Heat race wins went to Ryan Broughton, Justin Roberts, and Andy
Bradley.
Ryan Broughton and Jeff Barnhart brought the cars to the green in the
feature. Broughton had a good start and led the field into turn
one,with Barnhart and Justin Roberts in tow. On lap 7, Barnhart would
pull pit side after losing a chain, with Broughton pulling to a huge
lead with Roberts holding off brothers Scott and Andy Bradley in an
excellent battle at times going three-wide. The caution would come
out on lap 12 for a spinning Kenny Burr, erasing a half lap lead for
Broughton. On the caution disaster would strike for the leader as a
rock wedged under his throttle negating him to the tail. On the
restart the Bradley brothers made short work of Roberts taking first
and second. Lap 17 saw a red for Kevin Roberts Jr. who turned his car
over in turn 2. He was not injured but unable to continue. On the
restart Scott Bradley would lead followed by brother Andy and Justin
Roberts continued his fine run in 3rd. All eyes though were on Ryan
Broughton who had already come back to fifth. Broughton made his way
from fifth to third on the restart, but ran out of time as Andy
Bradley took the checkers, followed by brother Scott, Broughton,
Justin Roberts, and Jack Sandall.
The hard charger award went to Collin Ambrose from 16th to 9th.
There was some controversy over a late restart. The track made no
call but MMSA officials decided to move Justin Roberts to 3rd
and Ryan Broughton to 4th.
