It was snowing at the track at 1PM the day of the races, but 17 cars made the trip to start off the 2017 racing Season, and the first USAC Sanctioned Lightning Sprint Race in Colorado, and it was an eventful night. Heat races were won by the #01 of Troy Ullery and the #2 of Blaine Schubarth. The feature race lined up as heat races finished with Ullery and Schubarth on the front row. Ullery took the lead followed by Schubarth and Andy Flood. Several laps later, the #2 of Schubarth flipped wildly in turn 3 ending his night. The driver was OK. In the back of the field, the #3J of Joel Mellon, the #24B of Johnny Boos, and the #17 of Dave McCray making their way to the front. By mid race, the 3J had taken over the #3 spot, with the #17 and #24B moving up fast. At lap 14 the #17 and the #3J made contact sending the #3J machine flipping multiple times in turn 3 . The driver was OK , but his night was done. When the clay settled, the Ullery #01 led the field to the checkered followed by the #17 McCray, the #24 Boos, the #9F Flood and the #31 driven by Steve Becker.
