PELLETIER-FRANTZ-EARLEY BEAT THE RAIN AT FLAT ROCK (ALMOST)

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - August 4, 2012) - For the first time since April 28, rain fell on a Saturday at Flat Rock Speedway.  But a great effort by the race teams and track officials kept things moving along and allowed the Glass Unlimited Night to be nearly complete, as the Figure 8 feature was called after 14 of the 20 laps.  Paul Pelletier, Rich Frantz and Billy Earley captured the wins.  Walter Krause of Glass Unlimited presented the trophies and bonus money to the winning trio.

The clouds started to roll in around the 4 p.m. practice start and continued to build as approaching storms just missed the track.  At 6:45, 15 minutes before start time, a heavy 10 minute downpour caused a delay, pushing the race card back to a 7:30 p.m. start.  The race teams were ready and kept the race card moving through the heats and features.
