It kind of feels like the good old days again. I had something underneath me to work with, and I was nervous all night long. The Heat race felt so good that I didn\u2019t want to mess it up, but didn\u2019t want to leave it to free, but this hot rod was good and things worked well tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Up Next: The DIRTcar Summer Nationals Late Models and DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals head to Kankakee County Speedway for the second leg of the opening week in Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t make it to the track, you can watch all the action live on DIRTVision \u2013 either online or by downloading the DIRTVision App.<\/p>\n<p>Feature (30 Laps): 1. 21-Billy Moyer Sr[2]; 2. 33-Mike Harrison[1]; 3. 18-Shannon Babb[3]; 4.
