MATT HILL WINS CRATE MAIN - CALHOUN LIGHT WILLIAMS GETS VINTAGE WIN
In the 15-lap Crate Model feature it was defending champion, Matt Hill taking advantage of pole starting spot from winning his heat. Hill held the lead with Tyler Reed (who won the second heat) running tight on his back bumper in the early laps. Steven Baker held the third spot with Sparky White and Jamie Eichholz in the top five.
There were cautions for spins on laps six and seven but at the halfway sign the top five remained unchanged. The top five would change on unlucky lap 13 when Eichholz slowed to a stop while running in fourth. On the restart, Jason Rush got around and the yellow was out again.
Hill would make no mistakes as he cruised to the win with Reed second and White third. Fourth went to Baker and Mike Wilson rounded out the top five.
Scott Calhoun thought he had come out on top in a hard fought battle in the 12-lap Vintage feature. Calhoun held off Dwayne Heck for the first seven laps but got caught in traffic and Heck took the lead. Calhoun’s night nearly ended when he got over the rear of John Burton, Jr.’s coupe but both cars were able to continue. Chris Loveland got around avoiding the tangle and spun to bring out the yellow.
On the restart Calhoun regained the lead from Heck and would survive two more restarts to take the checkered but was light as the scale. Mark Williams got by Heck with one to go to get the win with Heck hanging on to finish in second. Fourth went to Freddie Brightbill and Snookie Vent, Jr. crossed the finish in fifth but was light at the scales. This moved Vic Thomas to fourth and Dave Schamp to fifth.
