Via their top four finishes in Friday night’s preliminary feature Tony Jackson Jr., Kyle Beard, Ross Camponovo, and Dane Dacus locked into the Allen Manufacturing Dash, which posted a $600 total purse. With the finish from the dash determining the line up for the front two rows for the feature Jackson Jr. claimed the win with Beard, Camponovo, and Dacus rounding out the finish.
In the feature Tony Jackson Jr. jumped to the lead at the drop of the green flag, and after enduring three caution flags in the opening laps went on to lead every circuit to claim the victory over Clay Fisher, Dane Dacus, Kyle Beard, and Tanner English.
Jackson Jr. received a $3,000 check and a guitar trophy for his efforts in the 45 lap finale.
The Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger bonus was claimed by, Tanner English, who advanced seven positions to a fifth place finish, while Ashley Newman was awarded the Quarter Master Hard Luck Award after contact in the event’s opening laps spun him from contention.
