Unlimited 4 Round 7 From LOORRS Lake Elsinore Motorsports Complex

What a difference an addition of four more trucks has made to the Unlimited 4 division! If racing was already good here, it was made incredible by the likes of Kyle LeDuc and Mike Johnson. Usual favorite Carl Renezeder now had his hands full with young LeDuc, who narrowly missed the pole position in Fridays qualifying session, and it was LeDuc who had the best start of all on Saturday night, moving from seventh to second on the first lap alone. #19 Troy Herbst, in his first LOORRS Unlimited 4 race, was the only man still ahead of LeDucs #99 Rockstar/Makita Ford, while Bryce Menzies (driving Travis Coynes old truck), Mike Johnson (filling in for Alan Pflueger) and Tim Herbst filled third through fifth. LeDuc made short work of the leader Troy Herbst to take the lead, while a hard-charging Renezeder moved all the way to second in pretty short order, only to have a major mechanical failure burn up his chances of a battle for the win with LeDuc. At the competition yellow, it was still LeDuc out front, ahead of Johnson in the #71 K&N/KMC Wheels Chevrolet, Troy Herbst, # 18 Tim Herbst, and Bryce Menzies in the Team Associated Ford #51. As green flag racing resumed, it was apparent that something was not right with LeDucs truck, as gray smoke was first streaming, then pouring out the back of his machine. Behind him, Troy Herbst spun in turn one to drop back to fifth, then rolled in the same turn a few laps later, but barely missed a beat and still retained fifth. Menzies dropped out, allowing Kent Braschos #8 XDP/R&L Carriers Chevrolet into fourth, and up front, the crowd was audibly willing LeDucs truck home. LeDucs truck hung on just long enough to come home first, ahead of Johnson (who drove extremely well in his first ever Unlimited 4 race), Tim Herbst in his Terrible Herbst/Lucas Oil Chevrolet, Brascho, and Troy Herbst in the other Terrible Herbst/Lucas Oil Chevrolet. In thanks to the adoring crowd, LeDuc drove down the front straight while hanging out his driver window, drawing an uproarious cheer from the fans whod seen this young man take a brilliant win.
