Announcers Andy Crane and Steve Pados continued their pre-race show interviews and provided the fans with some fun interviews with mini sprint campaigners Jimmy Broderick and Monster Energy drink sponsored driver Phil Beesmer. The father/son team of Bill Deak Jr and Sr were interviewed and 13 year-old Slingshot talent the "Z-Man" Zach O'Connell from West Park, New York and sponsored by the Apple Greens Golf Course, did an excellent job in a one on one interview with Pados. The honor role student is hoping to begin his big car racing career next year at Accord in the Spec Sportsman division.
