Chad Wall dominated the first Walls' Roofing UCAR Clash event of the season at Wake County, making it six different winners so far in 2012. Wall, no relation to series founder Larry Walls, cruised from his pole starting spot to an easy win in a race marred by crashes, spinouts and a fire that ended the race two laps prematurely.

Wall qualified nearly a second faster than the entire field, setting a blistering lap of 14.54 around the .25 mile bullring. Chris Gault, who was second in points going into the night's event, qualified second and held his own throughout the race, finishing right behind Wall.

However, behind them, things got a little wild. Around lap 30 points leader and defending race winner Keith Brame Jr. would get involved in an incident with a lapped car while running in the top five, ending his night early and creating serious championship implications.

After the restart, Wake County Speedway UCAR champion Kristin Gault charged through the field all the way to third place, but blew her engine with only two laps remaining. Her car erupted into a fireball, causing chaos behind her as the third through sixth place cars would all be collected in the ensuing wreck. Fortunately for Wall, he was long gone and easily collected his first Clash feature win.

Keith Brame Jr. back in the winner's circle

When you look at the Walls' Roofing UCAR Clash history books, one name rises to the top of the list - Keith Brame Jr. The 2009 champion is the series' first repeat winner, all-time wins leader, and has won on all three types of tracks the series has raced - oval, dirt and road course.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is Jason Beck Racing, one of the founding UCAR Clash teams that had never seen victory lane in the touring division. Now, the two have joined to create a winning combination.

After several near misses and letdowns this year, Brame captured the first UCAR Clash win of his career driving a car owned by someone other than himself. Brame dominated the series' fifth race of the year, qualifying on the pole and leading 24 laps of the 25-lap main event at Dillon Motor Speedway.

The win pushes the Gibsonville, N.C. native further ahead in the points battle, extending his attempt at becoming the series' first repeat champion.

Not bad for a driver who hadn't run the UCAR Clash in more than two years and had no plans of racing cars this season.

"I came down to the New Years Day race and didn't even have a car with me, I was just helping a friend," Brame said Saturday night in victory lane, hoisting the winner's trophy. "Jason saw me and asked if I wanted to drive his car. He liked what he saw, so we decided to keep racing."

Brame has qualified on the pole for three of the series' five races this year and has posted four top fives. However, Raleigh's Chris Gault has kept the points battle tight, winning the inaugural race at Rockingham Motor Speedway and finishing 2nd to Brame Saturday night at Dillon. The race at Dillon may have been one of the strongest runs of Gault's young career. He'll be a force to be reckoned with as the series heads into his home track of Wake County Speedway in May.

Dillon natives Josh and Mark Dean finished third and fourth at their home track, waging an epic battle for position throughout the race. Andy Norris rounded out the top-five finishers.
