Gibsonton, FL (February 3, 2018) –Arthur took advantage of favorable track conditions, avoided tight traffic and found Victory Lane on the final night of Winternational Crate Late Model action at East Bay Raceway Park. Arthur started 15^th in the 50 Lap, $3000 to Win finale, worked his way to 2^nd by lap 23, took the lead on lap 35 and won with over a 3 second lead. Previous night’s winner Doug Horton finished 2^nd, just on front of Austin Burns from Morgantown, IN, who had his best finish of the week in 3^rd. Clay Harris and Jack Nosbisch rounded out the top 5.

Hayden Campbell made it back-to-back victories in the Top Gun Sprints 2018 season opening 2-day event. 2017 Season Champion A.J. Maddox worked hard for 2^nd and Brandon Grubaugh got redemption for his Friday night debacle which took him out on the Parade lap before the race even started with an exciting 3^rd place run. Anthony D Alessio finished 4^th, and Matt Kurtz came from the back of the field  after he was involved in an accident earlier in the race to round out the top 5.
