| Cutting corners around this turn proved to be hazardous as a car rolls over onto its roof. After the car was turned back onto it’s wheels, the driver hit the track again and finished the race during last weekend’s racing event. |
This past Saturday night, 74 cars competed in various race events at Carbon County’s Desert Thunder Raceway, giving the crowd a whole different brand of fireworks for the Fourth of July.
The races included opening heats, trophy dashes and main events in five different car classes including late models, street stock, pure stock, mini sprints and ATV.
