#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 />

Flight B<br />

First Heat<br />

#16 Ross Young scored a pair of wins<br />

in his heats, putting him up front for the<br />

start of the Junior II Heavy Feature.<br />

In the first heat Young ran beside #01<br />

Brayton Carter for nearly a lap before<br />

passing into scoring out front. Down<br />
