Hedgecock picks up second Steelhead Nationals championship at 411
SEYMOUR, TN (October 17) - The 9th annual Steelhead Nationals was 51 laps for $3,500 to win and it was Ruben Mayfield who set fast time with a 15.908 lap time in qualifying. Eddie King Jr had issues before the race even went green as he pulled off the track. Hedgecock jumped out to the lead ahead of Chase King and John Gill. As the top two inched away the battle was on for 5th between Jason Trammell and Bobby Giffin. As they raced hard that allowed Ross White to close in and put his name in the mix for a top 5 spot. The first caution waved on lap 7 for Bobby Mays who spun in turn two. On the restart John Gill pounced on Chase King and took the runner up spot away. Brad Hall started the race in the top 10 but slipped back after suffering a big push in turn four. You could throw a blanket over the top three as they pulled away from the pack. Hedgeock would have his hands full with lap traffic as he and Mays got together allowing Gill to close back in on him. The top three put on an amazing show for the fans with King again working the low line trying to get back into second position. 32 laps on the board and Hedgeock was once again pulling away from Gill and King. The race would run caution free and despite heavy lap traffic, Hedgeock would hold on to pick up his second Steelhead Nationals Championship.
