RPM Speedway (Crandall)
July 3 (Sunday)
A large crowd enjoyed a fireworks show and five classes of race cars at RPM Sunday night. RPM Speedway is a beautiful facility that is located just outside of Crandall and generally runs on Friday night. This was a special July 4 holiday show that featured the RaceSaver 305 Sprints. In the 20-lap A-main, Scott Reneau, #1s, started on the pole and quickly took the lead. For most of the race it was a three way battle between Scott, Larry Long, #1m, and Palm Harbor Homes sponsored Michael Lang, #14. Although there were some tense moments with lap cars, Scott Reneau took the checkered flag with Michael Lang coming in second and a hard charging Raven Culp, #3, placing third.
