turn 1 at the halfway point. CP’s car
was completely smashed in on the front.
Burton had minor right front and rear end damage. Spencer’s car was completely destroyed on
the front end. CP went to the pits and

CP charges up from 35th to the lead at one point. 4 car battle between DJ, CP, Jerry Nadeau,
and Dave Blaney for the rest of the race.
Those 4 were caught up behind the 05 lap car of Samantha Pickett, and
that’s why they were all bunched up.

ahead of current point leader and defending Winston Cup champ Chris
Pickett. Jerry Nadeau finished third
and DJ was fourth.
