Steven had a very eventful night, to say the least. He started 4'th in the heat race and jumped to the outside where he passed three cars and won it going away!
The hottest sprint car driver of 2024 was flown in from Canada to run this event. Arron Williston drove the Stratham #36, and ended up winning. Steven started 6'th in the feature and battled his way up to second. Eventually, Arron Williston got close, so they went at it for about 7 laps. Great experience for Steven although Arron got around for second place.
There was a restart with a few laps to go that shook things up. Steven and Arron got together, but continued on. Meanwhile, a car from 5'th or 6'th passed everyone and drove to third.
We crossed the line in 4'th, but tech claimed the guy who led the whole way, so we were paid for 3'rd. The odd thing was that because the leader got DQ'd, they did not pay him the lap money. Steven ran second for around 20 laps, so Mike Blake was paid the lap money for those laps. Fun fact: this is the third running of the Sandi DeCaire Memorial, and Steven has won lap money from every one of them.
