MERIDIAN, IDAHO – After correcting a loose condition on their supermodified racecar, S&S Motorsports of Carson City went to the tight side of handling only to have it revert to loose during the 40-lap main event at the first of two feature races for the Tom and Bob Naylor Memorial Classic at Meridian Speedway in Meridian, Idaho.
Oil blow off from the 56 car of Kirk Wartman of Boise didn’t help the handling conditions for Troy Regier, driver of the No. 98 S&S racecar, and the others, but as Regier tried an outside pass on Wartman in turn 1 on lap 27, Regier came in contact with the right rear of Wartman and sailed into the wall of turn 1, hitting nearly head on and leaving the car perched at a 90-degree angle on the wall.
