Trammell Strikes Again at Thunder Valley

Midwest Mini Sprint Association point leader Cody Trammell took Thunder Valley Raceway by storm Friday night.  Trammell had a near-perfect night, first winning his heat and then rolling on to win the night’s feature.

With the heat win, that made him the best in passing points for the night, putting him 6th in the A-Main. The front row consisted of a MMSA rookie, Cody Beard, and the youngest MMSA racer Jac Nickels. Nickels jumped out front and lead the competition for many laps on the tricky black slicken dirt track.

He led Brad Strunk, Cody Beard, Cody Trammell for the first half of the race. Trammell got past the always fast Strunk to take over second. He went on to hound young Nickels lap after lap. The two caught lapped traffic on lap 15. This was the time that the experience of Trammell would prevail. Trammell took total advantage of the situation to pass Nickels and set sail to yet another victory in 2019.
