Video Transcript
Tonight, we open up a new chapter here at the Belle Claire Fairgrounds Park Speedway with the dirt car modifieds.
Their feature comes off of four.
We are green.
Steinkhning a good run to the outside of Spranger.
He'll take the lead down the back stretch for the first time.
Spranger gonna try and answer back.
Here comes John Dimitt.
They're two, three wide up front, and they're three wide back there.
Four position, number four.
Oh, Dimitt gets caught with Spranger.
Oh, Steinkhning out of nowhere, Harrison caught in the rubble.
Harrison caught in major pile-up.
No, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, here's a good look- Be able to come to the back from the speed shot over here.
Yeah, he slowed down, and Dimitt nowhere to go.
Harrison got caught up in, yeah, just calamity behind.
We're gonna try to go.
Take two, we're green.
Chunks are flying as Rick Salter goes up to the high side, trying to see if he can find a way around and gets that first position lock.
Whoa, Zebo too high, and around he goes, and they Oh, goodness.
Oh, no, guys.
Oh.
Come on.
Let's try this again.
The third time's a charm as we're gonna go to the green flag.
Here we go.
Steinkhning another good start, but this time Harrison says, "Oh, I see opportunity on the map."
And here on- Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Oh, they're not gonna keep going.
Guys, hang in there.
Oh, wow.
Well, and that is what you call, kids, the accordion effect there in the back of the field.
Listen for the RPMs to pick up right about there.
Yes, indeed.
Here we go.
Waiting no time at all.
There's Mike Harrison going down to the inside.
He's looking for a way to the front.
He's to the inside of Edlin.
He'll take third, and he sets his sights on the Salty Dog next.
Here comes Harrison on the inside.
Well, lap number one, Steinkhning, and, and now Harrison'll get by Salter, who pushes up the hill, and that's gonna open the door for the Beatbuilt J82 of Treb Jacoby.
And how appropriate, a pair of 24s will do battle here at Belleville.
Turns three and four to the front straightaway.
They are side by side.
Look at this.
Jacob Steinkhning fending off the Gunslinger for now.
He's done it before in the past.
Harrison's gonna make it hard for him, though.
Harrison to the inside, into turn number three.
Can he get the run?
Steinkhning.
Ooh.
Can he get the run on the top?
Harrison your leader now at four.
Let's see if he can hold that position.
As Steinkhning went all the way to the top up where Harrison usually likes to run.
Yeah, that'll definitely give him some room to move forward.
Now he's got the lead officially, heading into lap traffic.
We'll see if, Steinkhning or anybody else behind him can mount a charge.
Jacoby gonna try and put on a show here up in the middle groove as he works and tries to get to the outside of Rick Salter.
Salter right now holds that bottom groove down around that inside.
Whoo.
Jacoby went through a little bit of that ripple, but he caught to the outside of the 95 of Salter.
We got a battle for position number three.
Yeah, I tell you what, he's trying everything he can, but here comes Sugg on the inside, on the outside now.
Whoa, a little bit far in there.
He's gonna go down towards Salter, and I tell you what, that car is taking a beating.
That sheet metal on the side of Sugg's car is starting to come loose.
That battle for second gonna start picking up.
Six laps to go this time.
Right now it is all the Gunslinger.
Your, your winner, the last feature we ever ran at the old Belle Claire, and he's gonna try and bookend it with the first ever modified feature here.
Five to go this time.
Oh, man, this is getting interesting.
Mike McClintock now making his way up past the 33, Kevin Melton.
White flag this time for the Gunslinger, Mike Harrison.
He'll go into one for the final time.
Down the back straightaway.
August 23rd, 2019, he picked up the final win at Little Belle Claire, and tonight, August 2nd, 2026, Mike Harrison wins the opener at Belle Claire Fairgrounds Park Speedway.
