MOVERS & SHAKERS RACETRACK BUDDIES: Alisha Buck checks in on son Max, who spent the weekend hanging out with the Snyder kids, Cam, Madi and Briar, and got to watch from the team golf cart as Mick Snyder drove the Snyder Motorsports ‘68 Camaro to the No. 1 spot in the Quick Star 16 Shootout qualifying order. KENNIHANA: Small-tire racing hero Kenny “Kennihana” Hubbard and his wife, Billie, hang out on the starting line after making the trip to Denver from Texas. Hubbard was on the grounds to tune Lamar Swindoll Jr.’s ProCharger-boosted ‘71 Camaro in PSCA Xtreme Drag Radial. PICK A WINNER: Bob Gardner, Clint Satterfield’s one-man crew, couldn’t be more excited to draw the No. 1 Coors Light can, giving his driver a first-round bye run into the next round. The can drawing for ladder positions was done in place of qualifying, as all three shakedown sessions on Friday were run with the clocks off. ROGER THAT: Longtime technical guru Roger Conley keeps a watchful eye over the staging lanes as Pro Mod cars roll under the tower for a shakedown pass. Conley joined the WSOPM event team this season as the tech director. 42 | D r a g I l l u s t r a t e d | DragIllustrated.com VIP GUESTS: WSOPM founder and promoter Wes Buck (left) and Bandimere Speedway general manager John “Sporty” Bandimere III (right) present a check to One Cure’s Greg Schumann.
