Action was in high speeds at Kokomo Speedway Sunday night. The Bob Darland Memorial race – a rescheduled show after last weekend’s rainout – brought on a flip from Jon Stanbrough early in Lap 1, prompting a restart. Moments later, Dalten Gabbard bicycled in turn 1 – during the restart and collected Shane Cottle, Kevin Thomas Jr. and CJ Leary. In the end, it was Robert Ballou who made it to Victory Lane for the Sunday-night feature.
