    Last Friday’s races at Phillips County Raceway were relatively small, but it was a beautiful night for it, and there were a number of unique events.
    Compacts had a repeat of their last Holyoke matchup, with the five racers finishing in the same order. This time, instead of snagging the win in the final lap, Shalanda Smith held a nice lead throughout.
