balance of the 21-car field with a sixth place finish. The 2008 Rookie of
the Year, Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee followed Barks in
seventh place. Veteran sprint car driver, Wade Oliver from Southaven,
Mississippi finished in the eighth position. Current USCS Rookie points
leader, Justin Carver from Drummonds, Tennessee finished ninth. Fourteen
