Over 10,000 people filled the stands to capacity at the Demolition Derby on Saturday, August 10. The weather was beautiful and the drivers didn't disappoint as they crashed and crumpled over 50 cars and trucks.
One of the highlights of the night occurred in the second heat when Justin Boylan of Fairview went full throttle in reverse and plowed over Jason Davis of Spanish Fork, coming to rest on top of the car. Both drivers were okay and Boylan went on to win Overall Most Aggressive Driver. He won a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker plus four tires.
Another highlight came in the truck heat when four trucks were rolled over onto their sides. All drivers were okay and it made for some very exciting action.
In the 80s heat, Jeremy Garlick of Nephi, was hit pretty hard and had to be extricated from his vehicle. He was taken to the hospital and it was later reported during the derby that he would be okay. No further information was available about the seriousness of his injury.
