BIG CROWD AT TOLEDO’S WENDY’S NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION
Trackside Tidbits by Debi Domby
Josh Bunting won his first career Street Stock A division feature of the season. “Finally! Half way through the season I couldn’t figure out the car. Tried a new spring and the car came around. Thanks to my family and crew.”
With his win, Bunting, breaks the streak that Scott Selmi had going of six wins. Selmi has won every feature he’s been in since the end of June (he missed the 100-lapper that Chad Guinn won, but oddly enough Scott’s dad Jim won the B division feature so the Selmi family has won seven consecutive weeks, I never did find out if a family had that many wins in a row, if anyone knows, send me an email.).
