Main A

Marcus Hammenstad took of like he was afraid to miss his mail. (internal joke). He shared the lead after the first head with Torgny Nordgren. One lap behind them were Richard Lundh and Mats Hummel.

After the second heat Marcus and Mikael Eskilsson shared the lead with a two laps cushion to the next three drivers.

Third heat and Mikael went into a three lap lead. Behind him three drivers chased hard.

Mikael was able to hold the lead until the end but the gap was just a lap.
In third and fourth place Marcus and Mats chased hard. Marcus were in front until the last 5-6 seconds when he fell off.
Mats, unfortunately could stop and crashed into Marcus car. Lasse Åberg then crashed into Mats car and the main was over. Mats passed Marcus due to Marcus crash and that Lasse hit Mats car and pushed it a few decimeters on the straight. That was how close they were.

We have now had three Saloon races and also three different top qualifiers as well as three different winners in the main.
Will it be four?
