Tanner Thayer was this year’s winner of the crash to pass at the Goldpan Speedway in Quensel last night to kick off Billy Barker Days.
Thayer, driving an orange truck with the paint scheme of the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard and sporting the number 01, was the last vehicle running.
“This is my first time winning. This is the 4th year I’ve raced. I raced the limo for two years and then I built this last year. It’s so much fun. The excitement is awesome.”
33 vehicles began the night and 28 made it into the main.
