First Responders Night Roars to Life Amid Rain Delays and Desert Grit First Responders Night at Vado Speedway Park transformed a rainy start into a clay-slinging spectacle—honoring heroes with five classes of family feuds, comeback charges, and underdog triumphs! From Jackson’s miracle surge to Moseley’s chaos conquest, the 3/8-mile oval delivered multi-lane madness that had stands buzzing. Rain tested resolve, but once green flew, it was pure New Mexico thunder: flips survived, dynasties defended, and points battles ignited. Dive into the dirt details—Vado’s diamond honored courage with unbridled speed!

Hulsey Racing INEX Legends: Josh Jackson’s Miracle Missile Claims Fifth Straight Amid Early Chaos 14 legends battled 15 laps of high-stakes heart—Josh Jackson (#37, Albuquerque) charged from 9th to 1st for his fifth consecutive win, methodically climbing past traffic to “get around ’em both” in a late-race thriller! Jerod Candelaria (#33, Roswell) gritted from 6th to 2nd; Tony Martin (#4, Ft Sumner) held 3rd from 4th. Angel Garcia (#6, El Paso) surged from 5th to 4th; Brady Labree (#9, El Paso) from 1st to 5th. Drama: Early cautions from spins kept the field tight, testing nerves on the tacky surface. Points shakeup—Eric LaCroix (7th from 4th) clings to lead (1247 pts), but Cale Riggs (8th from 7th, 1222 pts) closes the 25-pt gap. Jackson’s post-crash streak? Legendary grit that inspires—forged in fire!

S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks: Michael Hartman’s Tactical Threading Turns Chaos to Crown 19 pure stocks slugged 20 laps of grassroots glory—Michael Hartman (#B52, Las Cruces) sliced from 3rd to 1st, threading lap traffic with surgical precision in a “murdered out black machine”! Dawnica Minks (#8, El Paso) charged from 9th to 2nd; Drew Cassidy (#3, Las Cruces) epic from 18th to 3rd. Sharrii Minks (#67, El Paso) from 15th to 4th (intensifying the 3-pt mom-daughter duel); Kristen Denman (#48, Las Cruces) from 8th to 5th. Heartbreaks: Zach McCoy (#8M) lost a tire early, Jimmy Skoog (#51) spun a wheel runaway. Early cautions from wall rides added edge, but Hartman’s steady drive shone.

Caleb Saiz (#42,

Albuquerque) from 3rd to 2nd; Robert Herrera (#9, Las Cruces) held 3rd from 2nd. Royal Jones (#131, Las Cruces) from 4th to 4th (track owner tenacity); Derek DeMartino (#97, Los Alamos) surged from 8th to 5th.

Points: Sandy holds (1126 pts), but Knight closes the gap—precision vs. power rages!

Hacienda Carpet & Tile USRA B-Mods: Rob Moseley’s Chaos Conquest Caps a Wild Night 24 B-Mod gladiators grinded 25 laps of dynasty duels—Rob Moseley (#M17, Los Lunas) conquered from 11th to 1st in a “beat the s**t out of it” endurance test, per his victory lane chat!

Mel Romero (#3R, Las Cruces) held 4th from 1st; Hunter Sandy (#27S, Albuquerque) from 3rd to 5th (double-duty fatigue hit). Drama: Early flips (e.g., Hooper’s “smoke show,” Allen’s wall ride) and cautions kept it chaotic, but Moseley’s new setup dominated. Points: Sandy leads (1050 pts), Flores (915 pts) surges—dynasty vs. chaos explodes!
