IceBreaker 200 practice hit Myrtle Beach Speedway on Friday as some of the top Late Model Stock Car drivers prepare for the season opening event tomorrow and it was a familiar face atop the speed charts.

Myatt Snider who won the final race of the season at Myrtle Beach in the UNOH Battle at the Beach last November and he’s picking up right where he left off turning in the fastest time of the day at a 20.500. That speed was just slightly faster than his runner-up finisher in the UNOH Battle at the Beach, Tommy Lemons, Jr. who turned in a fast speed of 20.509. Those two were the clear class of the field during Friday’s practice.

“We have a really fast piece,” said Snider after today’s practice session.  “I’m really blessed that everyone on the 2 crew has worked really hard on the car during the off-season. Them doing that has made a great car even better. We’re all looking forward to it tomorrow.”

Other cars clocking in fast times today included Langley Speedway front runner Brenden Queen and Myrtle Beach Speedway regulars Justin Milliken and Sam Yarbrough. These three drivers clocked in faster than 20.800 where many of the other drivers clocked in very closely. Deac McCaskill, Lee Pulliam, Chase Purdy, Hayden Humphrey and Justin Johnson all turned in laps in the 20.800-20.900 range showing that tomorrow’s field is likely to be very tight.

Racing action will hit the track tomorrow with qualifying at 11:00am and racing action beginning at 1:00pm. Tickets are still available at www.myrtlebeachspeedway.com
