the position. House took over the lead one lap later

only caution of the night and closing the field right back to House’s rear
bumper. House held on to take his first career Late

rain fall brought the field to a stop on pit road.
After a short delay, the rain stopped and the racing got back underway.

Buttrey and Jess Williams close behind. Fletcher,
Bolden, Victory and Buttrey ran nose to tail for twenty straight laps
until lap thirty-one when Victory dove to the inside of Bolden and

and Belt was forced to pit road with a tire problem.

Taylor and began challenging
for the lead. White took over the top spot on lap four
and immediately began to pull away from the field.
Taylor remained in second with
Lee Goddard, Howard Tucker and Jonathan Wilhite close behind.
Wilhite brought out the only caution of the event for a spin in
turn two. On the restart, White remained out front,
but the field stayed right on his bumper. White held
off the field to take his fifth straight win followed by Goddard, Taylor,
Tucker and Michael Crow.

of Joshua Hood. Matt Barnes picked up the win followed
by Travis, Charles Goddard Jr, Ryman and Jeremy Newman.
