leader for the first three laps while battling with Sowell and Crawley for
the point. On lap four Sowell raced past the veteran and into the lead.

through lapped traffic with Crawley five to six car lengths back. As the
raced went past the mid-point, Crawley closed on Sowell and raced under him
in turns three and four on lap twenty and led the final ten laps to victory
lane.



At the finish line it was Crawley first with Sowell four car lengths back in
the runner-up spot. Terry Gray finished in the third position. Zach Pringle
from Benton, Arkansas finished in the fourth position and Eric Sandage from
Alexander, Arkansas rounded out the top five finishers.
