Racing action heats up at Nevada Speedway
Boy was it hot! Not only the temperature but the racing action on the night of Aug. 2. We got a good look at the inside of Devin Weyhmeyer's car after a crash left him with no outside sheet metal. There is a real points battle in the Factory Stock division.
Mark Godsey and Karl Lehmann have been trading the lead back and forth for quite some time. This week Lehmann maintains the lead by one point.
Join us each and every week to catch all the action at the biggest little racetrack in the country.
