There was plenty of heated action between these 13 cars and surprises in the stock class: #62 (Pepsi 62) had one successful heat with 16 laps and only 7 laps in the second heat due to a rear wheel malfunction which took it out of the entire race. There was major disappointment from the entire team as this car had finished qualifying in the top cars. Repairs will be completed as the team is eager to battle again for the next race. Car #1 (Arroldn) suffered front end damage but was able to continue the race. Crews report that the damage is minimal and the car will be race ready soon. Car #37 (Tin_Indians) also suffered a loose rear wheel but was able to continue on and finish in 6th place. Again repairs will be made to get this car race ready. The #77 (Digital Springer) Santa Car spread plenty of joy for the entire race and all drivers got on the 'good list' for participating.
NOTE: As in most other proxies, the team's worst race will be taken off when the entire race season is completed.

Repairs will be completed before the next race. No photos were taken off the crash.
NOTE: As in most other proxies, the team's worst race will be taken off when the entire race season is completed.
