WINNER WINNER

Ward Wins

Jeff Ward outran a late race charge from last race winner Matthew Kingsbury to get his first win of the season. He started 2nd after finishing 2nd in the Fast Heat.

The final caution would fall on lap 90 which was going to create a shootout for the win. Jeff got a great restart when the green flew and held on for the final 5 laps to win. Matthew Kingsbury finished 2nd coming off his win at Irwindale. Blake Brown would finish 3rd, Rick Thompson 4th and Robert Lynn 5th.

Mike Kelley ended his top 5 streak after getting involved with the 54 of Tim Johnston when he got loose off of turn 4. Mike fought back and finished 6th.

Jeff was very excited to be back in victory lane again. He was asked what was going through his mind when the race was getting ready to restart. "I knew I had to get a great restart over my teammate Matt. I came over the radio and told my crewchief that I was going to drive the wheels off of it."
