Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN led a star-studded field of 80 entries on Friday Night as he set fast time at the Second Annual SuperClean Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway. Bloomquist spun a number one on the wheel which means the fastest qualifiers in each of the six heat races will start from the pole. Other polesitters will be Will Vaught of Crane, MO, Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, IL, Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL and Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, WI.
The first of six Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Heat Races will fire at 7:00PM on Saturday Night followed by B-Mains and the 100 Lap $40,000 to win Second Annual SuperClean Diamond Nationals.
On Friday Night the Integra Racing Shocks Crew Chief Challenge was won by crew chief Randall Edwards and crew member Matt Langston of the Bobby Labonte Racing Team with driver, Earl Pearson Jr. Other finalists competing against Edwards were Austin Hargrove of Bart Hartman's team and Kenny Kenneda crew chief for the Powell Motorsports Team with driver Scott James.
The Powell Motorsports Team of Kenny Kenneda and Shane James captured the ASI Racewear Best Appearing Crew which was determined by a vote of celebrity judges based on the appearance of the car, driver and crew.
