With a bit of help from lapped traffic on the ultra-fast 1/3 mile clay banked dirt track Marlar made the winning pass for the $4,000 payday with four laps remaining Saturday night in front of an excited crowd of racefans. Jumping to their feet with anticipation of Weaver’s possible rebuttal, of the lead change, it would prove to be too little and too late as the checkers flew. A pair of (# 21’s) took to a race long battle for third with North Carolina’s Chris Ferguson finishing just ahead of Florida’s Ivedent Lloyd Jr. Rounding out the Top-5 was reigning series champ Casey Roberts of Georgia, whom took the checkers the previous night at one of his neighboring West Georgia tracks.
In local racing action Johnny Cloer Jr. put his # 41 “ParkerStore, Outlaw Racing Graphics” racecar in Victory Lane for the LLM Steelhead feature.
