Recap
Tuesday July 14 delivered another strong night at SpareTime. Hayden Whiteside delivered back-to-back 28sra 2500 A-Main wins, leading wire to wire for the full 34 laps — while Brody Tarrant suffered a DNF on lap 21 after what had looked like a clean race developing. That DNF in the 2500 is significant for Tuesday standings — Whiteside extends his lead in the class.

Tarrant bounced back the way he always does. He swept Kyosho GT with a dominant 51-lap run and took the Unified Stock A-Main with 50 laps. Two more wins for Tarrant, who continues to be the driver to beat on Tuesday nights. Joe Briggs locked up another Ultrastock win — 39 laps, his sixth Tuesday Ultrastock victory — and then dropped to the B-Main in Unified Stock. Ethan Sprinkle had a quality night across all four classes — P3 in 2500, P2 Ultrastock, P3 Unified Stock — one of his most complete Tuesday showings of the season.

Steve Leonard was running P6 in Unified Stock when a DNF cut his race short on lap 4 — tough luck on the final Tuesday. Mark Brooks (in from California) and GK Gadgets both made their DFW Mini Z debut, with Brooks earning a B-Main run in both Kyosho GT and Unified Stock. Welcome to both.
