After coming up just short on opening night, Ricky Alvarado made sure the race was for second on night two of the EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Tour twinbill at Desert Thunder Raceway.
Alvarado led the last 25 times around the track in Saturday’s 30- lapper for IMCA Modifieds, taking the check ers handily ahead of Travis Metz. He’d been the runner-up, a scant half car length behind Aaron Spangler, in the Friday feature at Price.
Jeep Berry ran side by side with Alvarado before a lap 11 caution, fell back a couple spots and then raced back to third. Bubba Alvarado was fourth while “B” feature qualifiers Dan Fitzgerald and Spangler charged ahead to finish fifth and sixth, respectively.
Darrell Grebb led the first two circuits from the pole before giving way to Bubba Alvarado. Brother Ricky, the third place starter, took the front spot away on lap six with Berry and the 12th starting Metz in pursuit.
