Matt was one of the lucky ones not taken to the hospital.
First it was Araki getting tagged by Nikko, flipping in hot laps, then Bernal
flipping in time trials and then Niemela involved in a crash with Foresburg.
JFM sincerely wishes all best and a quick recovery for everyone involved in an incident tonight.

After killing it with Fast Time of the evening, Mitchell started
6th and went on to take 2nd in his heat race. The format
of the race events changed mid-stride, changing the dynamics. In the 20 lap red
flag littered Main 1; Matt started 11th and spun out on lap 2. This
put him starting in the back where he gained some ground and again spinning
out, again starting in the back. Mitchell pushed his way back up to finish 9th.
Now in the Feature race, Mitchell driving the A&A
Precision CNC Machine / King Racing Products / Berry Pack / CAM2 Blue Blood
Racing Oils / JFM #73 started 14th. Mitchell came charging in immediately
in the 40 Lap finale, positioning himself in 5th by lap 6 where yet
another of the seemingly continuous waving red flag stopped the non-winged
sprints. On green, he powered his way to 3rd by lap 8, another flag.
Matt took control in the 10th lap, out in front leading… when fate
took him and the JFM #73 where literally half the field had departed, wheels up.
Full and official results of this treacherous race will be
posted tomorrow here and on Josh
Ford Motorsports and the JFM
Blog.
Tomorrow night we will be right here again at the Thunderbowl
for the Southwest Contractors ‘20th Annual Trophy Cup – Winged Sprints’.
This will be a first for JFM and we are excited to get out there and not flip
so much!!
