THORNTON JR MAKES LATE RACE PASS FOR WIN
Tom Berry and Robert Hellebust led the field to the green flag in the second IMCA Modified Qualified feature. They raced side by side until Berry cleared Hellebust for the lead before an early caution regrouped the field. On the restart, Ricky Thornton Jr grabbed second, bringing Casey Arneson with him. As the laps wound down, Hellebust started to reel in Arneson for third. As the leaders started to catch lapped traffic, Thornton Jr started to catch Berry. Using lapped traffic as a pick, Thornton Jr slipped by Berry for the lead with three laps to go. Berry battled back but could not get back around Thornton. When the checkered flag waved, Ricky Thornton Jr finished first leaving Tom Berry having to settle for second. Robert Hellebust retook the third position from Casey Arneson as Jeremy Keller held off Mark Dahl and Marcus Tomlinson for fifth.
