GARTNER ENDS SEASON WITH IMPRESSIVE FIFTH FEATURE VICTORY
Lance Jangula led early in the Hobby Stock feature. Early cautions allowed Chris Welk to grab the lead from Jangula, bringing John Gartner Jr with him. As Jangula started to fade through the field, he lost positions to Dylan Sandberg, Seth Howe-Kellar and Nathan Messer. Gartner was all over Welk’s rear bumper. As they raced for the win, it allowed third place Dylan Sandberg to close in on the leaders. With only a handful of laps remaining, it was a thrilling three car battle for the win. Diving down low, John Gartner Jr pulled along side Welk for the lead with two laps to go. They raced side by side until Gartner cleared Welk with one lap to go. John Gartner Jr crossed the finish line first over Chris Welk Jr. Dylan Sandberg settled for third while Nathan Mundahl finished fourth ahead of Seth Howe Kellar. A.J. Davenport, who finished sixth, won his first track championship.
