The race featured three lead changes in the opening five laps, with Terry Gray snatching the lead from female sprint car driver and team-mate Morgan Turpen on the opening lap before Turpen re-gained the top spot one lap later. Turpen charger to nearly a straight-away lead before Gray flipped to bring out the race’s first caution/red flag of the race on lap 4. Hagar surged from third to first to grab the lead on the re-start and from there, the die was cast.
Crawley, from Benton, Arkansas, got by Turpen near the mid-point of the race and chased Hagar to the finish line in second. Marshall Skinner, also a Marion, Arkansas native, rounded out the podium in third. Morgan Turpen came home in fourth and California, Missouri’s Tyler Blank completed the top five.
Hernando, Mississippi top gun Jerod Roller finished in sixth and West Memphis veteran A.G. Rains crossed the checkered flag in seventh. Millington, Tennessee young gun Dalton Davis had a solid night to come home eighth and Ernie Ainsworth, out of Bartlett, Tennessee ended the night in ninth. Ainsworth was follow by Justin Webb, from Drummonds, Tennessee who completed the top ten.
10-time series Champion Terry Gray kicked off the evening’s racing action by winning the Hoosier Tire Speed Dash, and followed that up with a win in the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat. Morgan Turpen rolled to the victory in the Butlerbuilt Second Heat, and A.G. Rains netted the Schoenfeld Headers Third Heat win.
