CAMERON, Mo. (September 14, 2013) – Jonathan Cornell drew the pole at the U.S. 36 Raceway against the Speedway Motors Warrior Region and looked like he was going to run away to victory. That was until Cody Baker made a last corner charge; marking Cornell sweat as he crossed with a slim half-car advantage.

Cody Baker then Jay Russell completed the podium with Jason Danley and Wyatt Burks making up the top five. Miranda Arnold, Mitchell Moore, Austin Alumbaugh, Curtis Evans, and Tyler Blank made up the top ten.
