10:25 AM Nostalgia Eliminator is up next and we will reduce the field to eight cars. Something to remember about all the eliminator classes that run against indexes is that there are NO electronics allowed in any of the classes. No stops, no delay boxes. Nothing. These guys are good.

Both cars with problems. Sanders swapped lanes and Miller's roadster wouldn't shift.

I believe Dixon Jr. is here this weekend watching Dixon Sr. have his fun. Dixon gets the win and moves on.
