Depends how little you put into the trip. The last few positions are only paying out a few hundred bucks at these tracks. 9. 34McDowellFan #PrayForWickens posted: 08.27.2018 - 3:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Joe Graf ran over Chandler Smith coming into the final turn on the last lap Nice job by Carson Hocevar, got the pole and led 28 laps in only his 2nd race 10. David posted: 08.27.2018 - 4:04 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Hocevar does get credit for the pole, but it should be noted that there was no qualifying for this race. The field was set according to final practice speeds. 11.

The name on the entry blank is the only thing that differentiates anything ownership-wise. Billy's stats should be combined with and imported to Big Bill's page, in theory anyway. Miss the original broadcast of the race? The race will be re-aired live at noon Eastern time on ARCARacing.com tomorrow, 8/28. Slight corrections (very pedantic changes on these sponsors, sorry): 10 sponsor is Fast Track, not Tast Track 11 sponsor is Ashville, not Asheville 52 sponsor is Excavation, not Excavating (same at Springfield) Failed to qualify, withdrew, or driver changes: DC - Rick Clifton - 10 - Ohio Ag Equipment/Ashville Propane - Andy Hillenburg - Toyota WD - ??? - 78 - Mason Mitchell Motorsports - Mason Mitchell - Chevrolet (The team was on the original order of entry sheet a month+ ago but never found a driver. They withdrew here and while they did make it to Pocono, they were done from there) I don't think Wayne made a lap (well, obviously...) but he did at least make the grid which I think is why he's scored ahead of the absent Gerhart. 6 races for Wayne this year and 0 laps completed still - wonder if he'll keep up the "perfect record" so to say until year's end. Carson Hocevar, despite having only 1 previous start in a full bodied stock car, proved that experience at Berlin is king as the local kid led 28 laps and picked up a top 5. His car owner, Mike Bursley, is part of the group that runs Berlin Raceway and was no doubt proud of Hocevar's 4th place effort. Tyler Hill, brother of Cup/Xfinity driver Timmy Hill, made his ARCA debut and put together a solid 13th that was derailed by a tire going down under green. He could have finished a bit closer to the front if not for the unscheduled pit stop. 16. rm posted: 08.27.2018 - 8:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Gah - knew I forgot one thing. Brad Smith DNF'd due to "engine." He was dumped by Riley Herbst in the middle of the backstretch so Herbst could get a lap back and they subsequently overheated as a result. Not wanting to cook the motor, Brad & co. decided to park it in the late stages. 17.

On the restart, Graf didn't get going as well and Zane Smith took the lead on the outside, but Graf came back and essentially pulled the same move he did on Chandler Smith into turn 3 again, this time side-slamming the #41 and moving him up the hill to take the win. 20. rm posted: 08.28.2018 - 10:49 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) First caution - laps 94-100 - debris; free pass - 27 Second caution - laps 126-134 - 18, 48 accident backstretch; free pass - 18 (caution extended due to the 52 being held a lap on the backstretch to correct scoring) Third caution - laps 140-144 - 20 spun frontstretch; free pass - ???

What his status should "technically" be, I don't know. Riley Herbst sure didn't make any friends out there as he spun out 3 different drivers and added a solo spin to his total for the night. The incident with Chase Purdy resulted in both drivers going for a loop and finishing in the back half of the top 10. Christian Eckes cut down a tire late in the going while racing at the front of the pack. He got a break when Herbst and Purdy spun but he was already a lap down by that point. Not sure what else there is to say about this one that hasn't already been said here or on Graf's driver page comments. As could be expected, Billy Venturini was irate and looking for a fight postrace. Chandler Smith, being Billy's latest protege, was also quite upset with Graf. 21.

JSPorts posted: 08.31.2018 - 12:21 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I wish they could get those car counts up. There were as many as 33 cars at DuQuoin just 3 years ago. 27. rm posted: 08.31.2018 - 4:43 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) There will be 23 at DuQuoin but the additional entry is not Holmes/Schrader but rather Bryan Dauzat. Expect about 24 for IRP. Salem will see additional entries from Kimmel and the 4th Venturini car. 28.

Ralph posted: 09.04.2018 - 5:13 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Wasn't sure where to put this comment, but ARCA unveiled their new website today and it sucks massively if you're actually trying to get information from it. If racing reference relies on the ARCA website for data, don't hold your breath for ARCA race results to be updated here, otherwise I give a lot of credit to whoever here can work with that site as it stands now. BTW if you register with ARCA to be able to comment and then leave a negative comment about their new design (even doing so politely, as I did) they leave it up for a few minutes and then delete it. 30. JSPorts posted: 09.04.2018 - 5:47 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) What's so bad about it? I looked at it, and it doesn't really seem worse than the old site. It doesn't seem much better, either, but the old site wasn't great to begin with. It was hard to find information, and it still is. 31. rm posted: 10.22.2018 - 9:41 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 0 DNF reason - oil leak 32.
