He would go on to mount a great run to a 10th-place finish in the opening night's finale. Friday night's preliminary action would not treat Howard quite as well. A poor pill draw and challenging track conditions, left him falling short of qualifying for the night's feature. |

 The 10th annual Ralph Henson Memorial took Howard Moore to Tracey Clay's I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) on Saturday night.A strong field of 32 entries were on hand to chase the $2,046 top prize in the event, which was sanctioned by the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) Mid-South Region. After advancing two spots to a fourth-place finish in his heat race, Howard earned a spot in the pole-sitter's dash. A third-place run in the dash locked Howard into that starting spot for the 25-lap finale. The drop of the green flag found Howard losing a trio of spots. He would race just outside the Top 5 for the remainder of the feature before notching a 6th-place finish. "I would've like a little better run, but it was still a solid night for our team," Moore commented. "I would like to give a shout out to KDN Promotions and Xtreme Towing and Recovery for putting up the extramoney for us racers last night. I was one of the fortunate recipients that was able to benefit from it, and I really appreciate it." Full results from the program are available at www.I-30Speedway.com. |
