ECAR MODIFIED MINIS April 26 founders day
Heat: Steve Pruitt, Jack Hammond, Shalynn Guthrie, Mike Fietzek, Andrea Fietzek
Feature: Steve Pruitt, Mike Fietzek, Jack Hammond, Tanner Roche DNS, Andrea Fietzek DNS
Fietzek beat Jack Hammond, who drove the car of Shalynn Guthrie, who in turn was injured in her Modified Mini heat race, as here car hit the turn four wall at high speed. Guthrie was able to drive her car into the pit area from where the ambulance crew dispatched her down the hill to the hospital. The medic at the hospital wanted to wait for the next day or so to let her swollen arm go down to see if it was a fracture. By Sunday night no other word had been received. In 2008, the 15-year old Spring Creek lass was attempting to run both a Gen-X and a Modified Mini at the raceway, but those plans might be on hold should she be unable to use the arm.
In the Modified Mini feature only three cars were able to answer the bell for the green flag. Wells ace Steve Pruitt, running his old car since his Modified car was not finished yet, raced to victory over former champion Elko’s Mike Fietzek and Spring Creek’s Jack Hammond. For Pruitt it was win number two on the evening, as he beat out Hammond in the heat.

ECAR MINI MODS/ May 10th
Heat: Mike Fietzek, Tanner Baer, Jack Hammond, Shalynn Guthrie, Marty Hammond
Feature: Mike Fietzek, Jack Hammond, Marty Hammond, Shalynn Guthrie,
Tanner Baer DNS The ECAR Mini Mods had only four running cars in their 15-lap feature, and former two-time track champion Mike Fietzek might have learned something from daughter Jennifer, after the 15-year old sweept the Gen-X class two weeks back. The elder Fietzek ran away with his heat race and won the feature as well. If the race had only five laps more, 20 instead of 15, Jack Hammond might have won his first of 2008. As Fietzek mowed down the competition during the first half of the event, Hammond started to move in the later stages. Hammond was hauling the mail in those precious few laps in the feature, but finished less than two car lengths in back of winner Fietzek. Hammond’s father Marty got into the vacant car of Steve Pruitt for the first time. Marty looked pretty good, was out of the way of the leaders and might have a future in this cars. Time will tell. Also in Saturday’s field was 15-year old Shalynn Guthrie who was injured two weeks ago when her car struck the turn four guardrail. She suffered a severe bruise on her arm, and was in the field again and finished fourth in the feature.
