The second All-Star Open event saw Steven Spears at the pole. The Lowe's dedicated much of their practice time for the year to come and race this 40-lap shootout, and they would both start towards the front.

Race Results

Spears led the first lap with ease before Stephen Lowe made the pass for the top-spot on lap 2. He was able to maintain pace for a couple of circuits before the Flex Seal machine re-took the spot. He would go on to lead the next 22 laps.

Lap 5 saw a horrendous crash on the frontstretch. Some four-wide action spun Aaron Cummings around, knocking Scott Deutsch head-on into the outside wall and sending the rest of the field into hysteria. Mark Guthrie, Ben Geer, Alec Stelloh, Dylan Luithly, Mark Heron, Scott Drake, Rob Scarberry and Mike Carroll were all involved in the incident. Afterwards, Lap 17 saw a spin through the grass by Guthrie.

Walt Flowers was able to meander through the field after his 7th place starting spot to take the lead with 16 laps to go. Him and Ben Geer would fight it out hard for the next several circuits. Ben would drift up into the wall fighting hard for the victory. Only 6 laps remained.

Coming to 3 laps to go, Stephen Lowe dove underneath Walt on the frontstretch. The two raced side-by-side for a lap-and-a-half, with the #24 nearly clearing himself off the corner on two occasions. Walt would win the battle on the top lane.

On the final lap, Walt was able to meander past the lapped car of Mike Carroll and eek out the victory to clinch his final All-Star Race appearance. Congrats to Walt, crew chief Ragnar Moon, and the entire Quick-Silver Motorsports team for an excellent victory!
