Elma, WA -
Jeff Dunlap and Levi Kuntz led the field to green in the 360 Sprints that had an 8 invert from qualifying. Kuntz would take the lead on lap 1 and lead all 25 laps of race number 1 in the 360 Summer Challenge Series between Grays Harbor Raceway anad Skagit Speedway. Kuntz would have to fend off early challenges from Jordi Meese. After a red on lap 10 for Chase Goetz getting into the wall (driver walked away) Kuntz was able to defend off Meese,Kinzer Cox, and Levi Klatt. After a yellow for a tire for Cox, that would move Klatt into 3rd, Cam Smith into 4th, and Colton Heath into 5th. On the last restart Klatt would get by Meese for 2nd and the rest of the top 5 would stay the same. Picking up the heat race wins would be Colton Heath who wins 10 gal of Methanol courtesy of Speedmart and Kinser Cox who gets a $50 gift certificate to Triple X, and the quick time was Colton Heath and the hard charger organized by Jim Sheppard from Racers for Christ and the fans went to Cam Smith.
Kenny Rutz took the lead from the outside of row 1 and led all 25 laps to win the 360 Limited Sprint main event. Kenny was challenged by Samuel Strange who would finish second but then later disqualified after the race giving second to Dustin Gehring and third to Xan Miller. Unfortunately TJ Hartman and Keira Zylstra would have problems and not be able to finish and Alex Olsen was not able to start the main event. Heat race win would go to Keira Zylstra and the quick time was TJ Hartman.
Joel Baxter and Max Sanford lead the field to green in the Hornet main event. Sanford would lead all 15 laps to pick up the win. While Sanford was out front the battle behind was very good between Brandon Tyler, Jason Parmalee, and Landon Pruett. After a tire problem for Tyler brought out a caution and then Parmalee after contact with a hard charging Payton Harding brought out a caution. On the restart with 8 to go Harding would get by Pruett who would them slow with 4 to go. On the final restart Sanford would be able to hold off Tyler Sundstrom who started 16th because he was top 2 last race, and Payton Harding who started 18th after coming from the B Main and winning last race. Winning the heat races were Jason Parmlee, Jacob Salsbury, and Tyler Sundstrom
