PELETIER, NC - The School’s Out 150, presented by Interstate Batteries was held on Saturday, June 8th.. Thad Moffit, grandson of Richard Petty, joined us as a guest driver racing the #15 of CCI Racing in the Charger Division. It was a warm, beautiful Saturday night for racing and the fans certainly came out for the action! 13-year-old Michael Schott from Stella, North Carolina gave us a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem. He will soon be recording a country album in Nashville, Good Luck Michael from all of us at Carteret Speedway!
The first race of the night was the Junior Mini Cups and it was Michael Bivens with the victory over Keagan Abrams and DeeDee White.
Next up was a 25 lap U-Car race that was won by Haley Brown who beat Dustin Jolly to the finish line by just 3 seconds. Rounding out the top three was Cornell Williams.
The Legends took the track next with a fantastic field of 14 cars. The action paced race certainly did not disappoint and Charlie Beals held off a hard charging Scotty Benford and Brenton Irving for the win.
We had a brief intermission with the kids pedal car race which is always a crowd favorite.
The Bombers were up for the next race and it was definitely one of the best of the night as they were racing for double the money! 16 Bombers hit the track for 20 laps of action packed racing! Brady Price made a last lap pass on Charlie Mercer to take the win followed closely by Steve Sullivan. This was a great field of Bomber's cars and the crowd was on its feet them on for the entire race!
The final event of the evening was "COMBO RACING EXCITEMENT" of Chargers and Street Stock divisions into one race of 50 laps! Taking the win was Gator Williams who had his best career finish over the strong competition of Matthew Gurganus and Brandon Carraway, Tyler Smith and John Sharp. Thad Moffit (DQ) with a technical inspection issue.
