DAY 2, FRIDAY, NOV. 23
The second day of the four-day Thanksgiving weekend Las Vegas Bracket Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway now is history. So far, only one man has repeated his voyage to victory lane: Utah’s Scott Parsons.
Parsons defeated Phil Landram in the Sportsman finale to take home his second winner’s check of the four-day meet.
Joseph Landavazo defeated Bryan Dowling to win the $5,000 Super Pro check. The final race of the night was a strange one: Dowling fouled on the starting line, handing the win to Landavazo. Landavazo’s car left the starting line, then broke, and coasted to a stop at half-track. He never crossed the finish line, but won.
Tibor Kadar defeated Bob Moudree for Pro honors.
