In a once-a-year LoanMart Madera Speedway race that runs 70 laps longer than the circuit's norm, it's undeniable that absolutely anything can happen.
Such an adage was more true than ever Saturday night during the Gerhardt Classic 100-lap United States Auto Club/Bay Cities Racing Association Midgets race, which saw Chad Nichols easily hold the lead for more than 50 laps, but - to the gasps of the crowd - drop out in the last five.
The race - like all others Saturday - was held in tribute of legendary auto racing engineer Fred Gerhardt and, fitting to a mechanic who built cars in the wild days of racing's past, packed with awe-inspiring moments.
Whether it was Jerome Rodella in the electric blue five car making a potential suicide dive through five opponents in lap traffic to hold onto his then-lead, David Goodwill and Michael Snider exchanging the second-place spot three times in one lap, or of course, Nichols cruising to a lead measured by seconds, there was something for every fan in what could, without a doubt, be called a truly classic event.
Within four laps, Nichols found himself in second place behind Rodella, who put on a great display from the lead position for 42 turns around the "Fastest One-Third Mile in the West."
However, in that 42nd lap, Rodella - who spent the last several laps fending off the rising Nichols - made contact with the 98 car of Jarred Bondel, which sent him to the back of the pack.
That put Nichols firmly in the lead as several other strong contenders, such as Tanner Swanson and Cody Gerhardt, were already out due to motor troubles.
For the next 53 laps, it looked to be all Nichols for the checkered, though Goodwill and Snider battled for second behind him.
But in lap 95, everything changed when Nichols's engine apparently blew and forced him from the race.
"I'm pretty sure it's my motor," Nichols said. "The car was running perfect until ten laps ago … I was hoping it would limp across for five more but it just couldn't."Click here for more
