Race Recap

The lights dim down during driver introductions. The spotlight shines on the infield, as drivers and crews walk onto the make-shift stage. Scott Jackson received a standing ovation! Dalton Lucas enjoyed the heaviest cheer! Ladies man Dakota Wilkins was wooed by the wives and booed by the grooms! Logan Sheets received the loudest boo, still suffering from his car chief's money laundering scheme. Foley, Zach and Ryan each endured a roar from the Gods, entering the Richtor-scale as the grandstands shook out of their fasteners.

The green flag waves! Johnny Reed Foley goes for broke on the outside, failing to lead lap one as Adam "Pack-Man" Crapser dominates the inside groove. On lap-2, it was no contest. The #3 AC-Delco CFM Motorsports Chevrolet clears the pride of Brookfield, Wisconsin off of turn-2, earning his five bonus-points early. Zach Michael remains mired in the bottom-half of the field, now needing to gain two-spots on Foley. He and Ryan Heuser would make a charge, each clinching the top-20 by lap-28.

Up front, Johnny Reed Foley, Adam Crapser and John Battista pulled away from the pack. Then, disaster struck. Geno Sphere blows an engine off of turn-2, sliding in his own oil as the rest of the field endures the smoke-screen. The #444 pounds the outside wall, skidding into the path of Rod Weston, who clobbers him with the force of an anvil! Both drivers came out shaken, but okay. Rod would finish 40th in the standings, having to qualify for the Daytona 500 if NAPA stays on board. Geno ends 38th in points, ending his streak of two-straight top-12's.

A morbid blow! Johnny Reed Foley gets penalized for passing the pace car! He comes in to pit from the lead on lap-55, exiting just a half-second ahead of new leader John Battista. A miracle stop! Amazingly, just three laps later, the caution flag waved. Scott Jackson blows exiting turn-2, getting clipped by Tony Pizzaro, who gets slammed by Ken Joynt after drifting up the track. Jackson failed to continue, finishing 30th in the standings, and keeping William Perry's Mudhole Motorsports in tact after his big injury at Chicagoland. Joynt would finish 45th in the standings with a miracle fourth-place at Pocono! Pizzaro rebounded with an 18th-place finish, winding up fourth in the standings.

Dan Johnston inherits the lead on a two-tire stop! Johnny Reed Foley catches the tail-end of the field, hoping to morph his early misfortune into a monumental display of glory! The green flag waved on lap-64, with Johnston and John Battista racing side-by-side for the lead. Once Battista re-took the advantage, Ryan Heuser flew underneath to nab his first lead of the night, crawling from his 33rd starting spot in just over 100-miles. Heuser and Adam Crapser would set the pace, with Foley already up to the 13th-spot by lap-100, side-by-side with Zach Michael for the Championship!

Alex Crapser takes the lead on lap-107, racing teammate John Battista for most laps led on Lucas Racing! Crapser would earn the prize, tallying 478 to Battista's 457. He, Heuser, Logan Sheets, Bink Lucas and Ben Geer occupied the top-5 before green flag stops on lap-120. Johnny Reed Foley cruised to 10th, while Zach Michael dropped to 26th with a tight sensation. Up front, Geer's #29 Twinkie Chevrolet edged Heuser out of the pits, only to get re-passed just after the conclusion of the cycle.
