lap 1. Dale would try to get under Shelton over the next 7 laps, but Shelton
was able to hold him off each lap. Brett Lowry would jump to the top of the
speedway on lap 8 to grab 2nd away from Dale and then went to work on
Shelton for the lead. As Shelton and Lowry battled side-by-side for the lead
over the next 4 laps, Scott VanBuskirk, who started 5th, was working his way
to the front to make it a four car battle. Lowry would slip on the white
flag lap, which allowed VanBuskirk to get by and try to make a run at

for 2nd, Dale would edge out Lowry at the line by inches to claim 3rd, with
Rick Barlow Jr. coming home in 5th.
