Boles, who pulled out on the tenth circuit with mechanical problems, led the first ten laps of the 50-lapper with Ogle running in the second spot, but after misfortune for Boles, Ogle took the point and led the remaining distance while driving the Advanced Motorsports, Advanced Transportation, Keyser Manufacturing, West Haven Speed Equipment, Competition Racing Equipment, Outlaw Graphics, Brucebilt Performance sponsored Vic Hill Racing Engines-powered Rocket Chassis to the $6,000 payday.

The win for Ogle was his second-straight at the 1/3 mile high-banked oval as he also captured the $10,000 WoO LMS “Ray Varner Ford 50” win on April 11th.

In preliminary action, Donald McIntosh blistered the Tazewell Speedway with an 11.178 second lap in FK Rod Ends Time Trials. Stacy Boles took the Dash win while Chris Madden and David Payne took the Heat Race victories.
