#33 Jayce Jenkins also scored a hat<br />
trick Thursday night, winning both<br />
heats and the Open Midget feature<br />
event.<br />
Jenkins dominated the first heat,<br />
driving out front from start to finish<br />
and dodging lap traffic to take the<br />
checkers. #2 Steve Failor ran second for<br />
most of the race, tailed by #5 Patrick<br />
Parks. Failor and Parks were side-byside<br />
under the white flag, with Parks<br />
edging past Failor to score second at<br />
the finish.<br />
Jenkins started the second heat at<br />
the rear, passing through traffic as laps<br />
went down. By the halfway Jenkins was<br />
second, and trying to close the gap on<br />
race leader Failor. Lap traffic made it<br />
interesting; Jenkins took the lead from<br />
Failor just after they passed a lapped<br />
midget, then pulled away for the win.<br />
Failor scored second. Behind them #9<br />
Ryan Navratil and #12 Daniel VanGilst<br />
battled for third place points; Navirati<br />
was third at the finish.<br />
Feature<br />
Jenkins continued his domination on<br />
the track, leading his heat from start to<br />
finish, and lapping a large part of the<br />
field before taking the checkers. Failor<br />
ran second to the finish, edging up on<br />
Jenkins, but never getting close enough<br />
to execute a pass. Parks ran third for<br />
the duration, while<br />
VanGilst and Navirati<br />
swapped spots;<br />
VanGilst sealed the<br />
deal on fourth place<br />
near the halfway<br />
signal.<br />

First Heat<br />
#48 Woodrow Carpenter led through<br />
the first lap, with #1 Jerod Ballhagen and<br />
#88 Cole Ferguson right behind him. In<br />
the second go-around Ballhagen went<br />
low and drove to the lead. Ferguson,<br />
#15 Chance Titus and #4 Spencer Hill<br />
followed him through. Top contenders<br />
stayed nose-to-tail, with all looking<br />
for a shot to pass. When a yellow came<br />
out, Titus used the re-start to go around<br />
Ballhagen and score in the lead. Hill<br />
followed him through the hole, leaving<br />
Bahllhagen and Ferguson third and<br />
fourth. Once out front 15 pulled out a<br />
bit. Into lap eight scoring Ballhagen and<br />
Ferguson teamed up to freight-train<br />
past second place Hill; Ferguson kept<br />
up the momentum to pass Ballhagen<br />
and score behind race winner Titus at<br />
the final flag.<br />
Second Heat<br />
With a win to his credit, Titus took<br />
the track for second heat action, but<br />
went out of the race when karts spun<br />
in turn three on the first lap of the contest.<br />
When they went green flag racing<br />
again the field was led by Ballhagen,<br />
Ferguson and Carpenter. Early in the<br />
race Carpenter went around Ferguson<br />
to run second; Ferguson saw a hole and<br />
went past both Carpenter and Ballhagen<br />
to grab the lead. In lap six Ballhagen<br />
got back around Carpenter to score<br />
second. With just a couple of laps left<br />
Ferguson, Ballhagen and Carpenter ran<br />
nearly side-by-side. Into scoring under<br />
the white it was Ballhagen out front; he<br />
held the spot to score the win a lap later.<br />
Carpenter was second, Ferguson third.<br />
