Does Sussex in the 10E or 10AZ. Driving for Eugene Thomas here tonight. Also look out for that fourth place runner, Brent Stanner. Brent Stanner had a very fast hot ride last night driving that Meyer-Cottlewood entry. The three-second lead before getting caught up in a lap car's mess, then fought back to a sixth-place finish last night on that sixth seed. Right now he rides in a fourth. That's Jason Persley, the man up front with a 1.7 second advantage already here in the opening laps of the nice 25-lap main event. That's Persley followed by Stevie Sussex, J.J.

That's the 51W of Webster. Red Flag is out. Ronald Webster comes to a stop up on his lid. The Desert Winds Automotive 51W, driver out of Gilbert, Arizona. Webster was running in the 11th spot. You see the replay coming up on flow. Just got up into the wall. Smacked it a ton with that right rear. Josh Pelkey, your points leader, also in the mix as Webster landed on him. As Pelkey was behind Webster, Webster just smacked it right underneath that Tucson T-shirt.com banner. Pelkey with nowhere to go was able to drive away, looking on the racetrack, see if he can find the number 12. As you see, that car is destroyed. A lot of fluid coming out onto the racing surface, as well, underneath that hot rod. Pursley will lead the field off of turn number four with Stevie Sussex on his tail. Tail tank, green flags back in the air. Pursley and Stevie run to the top side of the racetrack. J.J. Yealy trying to get that second spot away from Sussex.

Three car battles, Danner works his way around J.J. Yealy. Here comes Brady Bacon, as well. Yealy going to lose two spots. Danner up to the third spot, Bacon up to fourth, and now it's going to be Briggs Danner taking over that second spot from Sussex. Briggs Danner very fast last night, looking pretty racy here tonight after starting this race. Back in the sixth position, he is up to second as Brady Bacon now starting to make some noise. Look underneath Stevie Sussex for the third position. Sussex up on the top side of the racetrack, doesn't quite seem to have the grip he had last night. As one car up and over in turn number one, back on his wheels, that is A.J. Hernandez in the 72. Red flag flies. We're in the Australian Outback Plants Big Sky Logistics, the racetrack, Extreme Plumbing. We're out of Phoenix, Arizona. 72 of A.J. Hernandez. But DRP safety crew on the scene. Hernandez climbing out of the car. That is the good news down there from turn number one. Y'all go ahead and pay him off. We got a replay, those of you watching at home. Got it kind of late. Can't quite tell exactly when that started in turn one. Yeah, he was already up and over right behind B.J. Fernandez. Josh Shipley narrowly avoiding making contact with the 72. Briggs Danner started this race in the sixth position. Last night had a fast piece. Had to go to the tail of the field, still came back. Finished just outside your top five. Now he starts second behind Daseon Pursley. Green flag in the air. We are back underway. Get some laps together here in tonight's 25-lap main event. Your top two drivers, they leave Stevie Sussex behind. Sussex now trying to fight off the hard charge, the 51 machine of the Macho Man, Brady Bacon.

Kevin Thomas Jr., last night's main event winner, trying to sweep the weekend in the bottom of motorsports for 15. He'll go down the bottom side of the racetrack, trying to reel in the tail tank of number two machinist, J.J. Yaley. Daseon Pursley continues to show the way out front. Top three drivers working the top side through turns three and four. Looks like two very different racetracks at both ends. A lot of these drivers working for the bottom side of the racetrack. Down in one and two, then they're going top side through three and four as Stevie Sussex just went top side in one and two, almost up the door for J.J. Yaley. Sussex, though, still hangs onto that fourth position with Yaley back in fifth. Yaley, though, reeling in that black number 10AZ of Sussex, though, as they work off of turn number four. About two car lengths separates those two drivers. That battle for fifth has Sussex back down to the bottom side of the racetrack now. Did not like how the car felt that last lap up on the top side. Top three drivers, though, they have broken away. It's Daseon Pursley out front. About a half second advantage he has over Briggs Danner in the sixth seat, and Brady Bacon as well. All those drivers are within a second of each other as they work their way into turn number three, getting ready to come up on some of the slower traffic towards the back as they will get ready to pass Rick Yarnell, putting him one lap down. Is Pursley able to work around the outside of Yarnell? Looks like Briggs Danner will do the same. Brady Bacon a little bit further back now from this battle for the top spot in the third position as Danner right now all over the back side of the 86 of Pursley. Half, we have 10 laps left in tonight's main event. And here comes Briggs Danner. He gave a peek to the inside. Couldn't do anything with Pursley down the back straightaway. Pursley having to slow up big time. He's got two drivers side by side battling for position. Right in front of him, Lonnie Oliver down to the inside. Then there's a gaggle of cars in front of him. Josh Shipley as well in the mix along with Travis DeGaten. And Pursley trying to tiptoe through the lap cars. That's gonna allow Briggs Danner to look down to his inside. Pursley, though, able to block the charge from Danner as they work their way down the front straightaway. Brady Bacon coming into your screen as well. Brady Bacon and Danner will both go to the bottom side of the racetrack. Pursley go topside. They go three wide. Give the race lead to Briggs Danner.

Power move from both Briggs Danner and Dayson Pursley. That last lap split in the lap car. Josh Shipley, Brady Bacon right now stuck behind Bruce St. James as the top two put him a lap down. Danner now once again on the attack of the 86 machine of Pursley. They come off at turn number four. Two car lengths separates them down the front straightaway. Into turn number one. Both drivers go top shelf, trying to work their way around the lap car of Brian Ledbetter Jr. Pursley trying to get held up down the back straightaway from Ledbetter. Now will finally clear him going into three. Here comes Briggs Danner once again, fighting back on the outside. Pursley, Danner, Bacon. All clear of Brian Ledbetter. Couple cars side-by-side just ahead of your race leader. As Briggs Danner to the top spot, using the low line, slides him. Here comes Pursley back on the inside, down the back straightaway. Great battle here for tonight's main event. Here comes Brady Bacon as well, down the bottom side. They almost go three. Why does Bacon now side-by-side with Danner for second? Dayson Pursley down to the bottom side of the racetrack. Danner to the top side. Pursley sneaks past another lap car, trying to push some gap between himself and Danner's. Bacon and Danner almost make contact into three. Danner up all the way up to the top. Here comes Bacon down low. Bacon with second at the line. Danner, though, with a strong run on the back straightaway. He'll work his way back past Dayson Pursley. Here comes Pursley, though, fighting back to the inside into turn number three. Tried to throw the slider. Couldn't quite get it done. Briggs Danner's your new race leader as he heads off a four. Briggs Danner to the top spot. Pursley in second with Bacon in third. Great battle here in tonight's main event for your Sand Chevrolet Wild West Brick Car Series as our side-by-side for second. Give it to Bacon. Going into three, he'll slide up across the nose of Pursley as the white flag flies for Danner. Danner leads him at the line. Bacon and Pursley side-by-side for that second spot. Danner up on the berm through turns one and two, trying to get around the lap car, the 4D of Dayton Sheldon. That's going out Brady Bacon. Now they're closing the gap. Now they're back straightaway. Danner goes down low. Bacon up top as Danner washes up the racetrack. Here comes Brady Bacon off a four. Danner has issues. Brady Bacon will win tonight's main event. Right rear flat down on Briggs Danner and just see the debris flying up over the catch fence. He comes home in third as Brady Bacon, the macho man, gets it done with a last corner pass. The macho man, Brady Bacon, climbs out of the race car. Put your hands together for him. For the fifth time in his career, Brady Bacon is a non-wing 360 sprint car main event winner at the Western World and he does it in thrilling fashion. He's got the rifle in hand. Brady, that was the definition of wild and Western all the way down the line. You actually ran a very, very smooth race compared to the guys in front of you. Do you think that's what won you the race? Kind of laying back there in the weeds and letting those guys race it out in front of you and just kind of waiting for the end to pounce? Yeah, I mean this place changes like super, super fast and I'm sure I had that on right. I look like a dummy being from Oklahoma and not put it on right. But yeah, the track just changes so fast and with traffic and sometimes it's better to be kind of the stalker instead of the one trying to lead out front. Last night I kind of was a victim to that and fell back and trying to second-guess myself. But yeah, I just love non-wing 360s at the Western World. Just always been good to me my whole career. So glad to get this win for these guys. Appreciate them giving me a call. Give me a chance to make some extra money while I'm out here and hopefully I get to interview again after this next race. But if I don't, I'd like to say hi to my wife and kids back home. They stayed home and miss them. Can't wait to get back home and this will make it a little bit better. You talked about the track changing really quickly and it was a very different racetrack from the start of the race to the very end of it. How do you stay on top of it, much less stay on top of it, but also have good speed all the way to the end? Yeah, just kind of, I mean we got a little lucky there at the end. I don't know if something happened to Briggs or when he was sliding that lap car, but he got kind of tangled up on the berm and we got a good run and was able to go back down the hill. But yeah, the bottom stayed really good and coming off a two and I thought it was going to clean up on the top and it just kind of never did and the top super tricky getting into three and I think if they work this track like I think they're going to and it's going to be a really exciting race for the 410s as well. Heartbreak last night in the 360, tonight it's redemption in the 360 for the macho man Brady Bacon as he picks up the win in this Sand Chevrolet Wild West Sprint Car feature event and it was wild and western all the way to the end.
