JFR 17 started outside pole but fell all the way back to 9th but recovered showing he may be a force this season and got back to the top 5.
WFO Ranger battled with everyone once it seemed and wound up 6th, Teammate WFO Rain who was very quiet all night finished 7th after some heated battles he overrcome. Mav held off VLR Mcgee and XCR Trav who got into some trouble early.
VLR_Shock "I love coming up here to Kokomo because it seems like we can't do anything wrong here. It's just my type of track, short and flat, something we don't have many of down in Tennessee so it's good to escape to the flat lands and race. I was nervous before the race expecting a lot of cautions to keep the pressure on me but the great drivers that Logan gets here at the MACS series showed that you can race on a bullring without having cautions every lap and the race went caution free. I was glad to win over the largest crowd in MACS history."
JFR 16 "It was fun to race again. I liked the rolling starts and I loved the competition, I hope to win this season points championship as well. I wasnt as good as I wanted to be, I tried out the Mastersbilt instead of the Warrior, But I'll take the 3rd place run. I also wanna thank everyone for coming out and look forward to TVRv4 Next week."
JFR 17 "I am damn pleased with my top 5, I plan to be a contender and I am just glad to be back out racing again after a few months of issues"
BLS Kev "Although I missed the A, I was pleased with my run, I think one car has a lag issue and needs to fix it, I will be back next week to do it again"
BLS BW "I felt I had a good run and I will be back next week for TVRv4, I just love to race"
JFR Duster " I hate that Gages toter home ran out of fuel"
NEXT WEEK MACS PICKS BACK UP TUESDAY AT 9est, TVR v4, We hope to see you there!
