Intermission reset
12 heat winners are on the board and 87 feature lineup rows are posted. This is the bridge from early-race speed to who has track position for the money laps.

- Hulsey Racing Legends: #95 Garrett Stearns won Heat 1 from P6 (+5 spots); #37 Josh Jackson won Heat 2.
Double-duty watch
A few drivers are carrying more than one notebook tonight. That matters as the track changes and the night gets longer.
- Cale Riggs: Extreme Landscaping USRA Stock Cars, Hulsey Racing Legends
- Luke Vargas: Anthony Sosa Roofing Late Models, S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks
- Shane McNutt: Anthony Sosa Roofing Late Models, Extreme Landscaping USRA Stock Cars
Booth notes to carry
These are live walkaround notes that should stay in the announcer brain without being sprayed all over random driver cards.
- Ed Garrett has bought dusty Riggs 01 legend car, okay, but we need you to announce him as dusty, something different, just to kind of give a little tribute. Cool, yeah, oh yeah, I know, but anyway, if you don't mind, throw a couple in there.
S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks: heat winners
Heat winners are the cleanest intermission thread: they showed early speed before the features, and the starting spots now decide who gets to use it.
- Heat 1: #222 Carlos Irvin from P5 (+4 spots).
- Heat 2: #777X Luke Vargas from P4 (+3 spots).
S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks: cars moving forward
These are the drivers who did not just hold serve. They found something in traffic, and that is useful if the feature gets racey.
- #222 Carlos Irvin went P5 to P1 in Heat 1 (+4 spots).
- #777X Luke Vargas went P4 to P1 in Heat 2 (+3 spots).
- #48 Kristen Denman went P3 to P2 in Heat 2 (+1 spots).
S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks: A Feature 1 setup
This is the feature hook: who owns clean air, who has heat-race speed behind them, and where the proven names have to start working.

- P2: #9 Conner Bell; stored file 2 wins, 10 podiums.
- P3: #00 Joseph Lenger; stored file 3 podiums.
S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks: rebound watch
These are not panic notes. They are proven local files that may have to turn an imperfect heat into a feature storyline.

- #67 Robert Dominguez finished P4 in Heat 1 but has the stored Vado class file to rebound. Starts feature P4.
