Winning Quote: “Bubba (Pollard) always told me that these cars were always built for banked tracks with some grip. That thing was flawless.” – Ben Rowe
Winning Crew Chief: Ricky Rolfe
Winning Chassis: Senneker Performance
On the Move: Dillon Moltz started shotgun on the field in 27th after having to swap engines following the second practice session. After missing his heat race and starting last, Moltz charged to a third-place finish, a gain of 24 positions.
Biggest Loser: Dan Winter started sixth after a strong run in his qualifying heat, but he only completed 31 laps in the feature and finished 24th, a loss of 18 positions.
Pre-Feature Notebook:
-Dillon Moltz went up in smoke during the second round of PASS North practice. Moltz will be a scratch for his heat race and will need to put 15 laps on his tires during intermission if the engine swap is completed in time for the feature.
-Twenty-three Late Models are also on the property today practicing for tomorrow’s $10,000-to-win NAPA 250. Quinny Welch led the first and third practice sessions, while Nick Sweet was fastest in the second session.
-Johnny Clark was fastest in the final round of PASS North practice.
-Glen Luce and Austin Teras collided in turn two during the first qualifying heat race. Luce suffered front-end damage and was towed back to the pit area.
