Looked like Chuck’s engine let go right after the stripe. Great race though!

Congratulations to Tommy Keeter and crew! First time out and takes the win, can’t do much better than that!

Great job by Chuck Poindexter and crew on your runner up finish. Chuck also won an extra $100 and a T-shirt from American Auto and Truck Repair for being the #1 qualifier.
