ALGER, Wash. — Eric Fisher claimed the headlining 360 sprint car feature during Saturday night’s John Carroll Classic at Skagit Speedway.
Due to weather problems, the Budweiser 360 Sprints ran first on the program and lined up their feature by the pill draw from the back gate. Eric Fisher would go on to lead all 30 laps of the A Main from the pole, taking home the $2,500 top prize in the process.
Runner up Trey Starks closed multiple times amidst the slower traffic in the field, but never enough to get by Fisher. Greg Hamilton logged his second consecutive third-place finish on the year.
In the Sportsman Sprint class, Evan Margeson was the first driver to really find the upper groove of the track surface and used it to reel in and pass Steve Parker on the 14th lap en route to his first win of the year.
The Skagit Aggregates Modifieds lined up in their IMCA points order for the main event, and it was Tyson Blood picking up his first Skagit Speedway win of the year. Blood climbed his way up into second by lap 14 when race leader Craig Moore ended up spun around at the tail end of the frontstretch.
Blood would inherit the lead and run the rest of the way unchallenged for the win.
Rick Smith came out on top of a great battle with Ben Gunderson for second place.
Adam Holtrop was on cruise control in the Hornet 20 lap A Main, taking the lead on lap three and running away from the field to grab the victory.
