It was as good Super race as you will see anywhere, and the top three really put on a good clean show. Putnam time was with in 3/100's of a sec. off new track record. Winchester did a great job with track prep. after 2 in. of rain in 24 hrs. and had a very fast and smooth race track. Thanks Winchester Speedway and all Racers for a good night of racing!
