Kaley Gharst made the best of his front row starting position, staving off a couple of mid-race challenges to gain his first O’Reilly Midwest All Star Series feature win before a large crowd at Jefferson County Speedway in Mt. Vernon , IL . Sunday evening.

Gharst jumped to the lead at the start of the twenty five lap feature event with A.J. Bruns in tow. Beginning on lap seven, Tim Montgomery, who earlier had moved past Bruns into second, pressured Gharst repeatedly but a mid-race caution again gave Gharst the advantage. Bruns would move back into second and Rob Standridge also got around Montgomery to finish third. Montgomery and Ryan Bunton rounded out the top five. The rest of the top ten included Jimmy Brewer, Tom Busch, Jack Potter, Terry Babb and Tiffany Wyzard, who started twenty-second, after changing a right rear tire prior to the feature.

Heat races were captured by Babb, Jerrod Hull and Tyler Thompson. A.J. Bruns won the Dash. Jimmy Brewer set fast time at 13.773. Twenty-four cars were present.

Jerrod Hull, who finished eleventh, maintains a fifty two point advantage over Rob Standridge as the series returns to Spoon River Speedway at Canton , IL . next Saturday, July 21st.
