Scoring the trifecta on Saturday night, Harrogate’s Travis Fultz was quickest in qualifying, won his heat race and led every lap of the thirty lap feature for his third win of the season. Fultz would bring the field to the green flag with Clyde Overholt sharing the front row. On lap five Odie Overholt would slide his way past his older brother for second. Two laps later Clyde would make contact with a lap car, causing enough damage to end his night. Meanwhile, Jody Horton began hassling Odie Overholt for the second spot.
Midway through the feature Odie and Jody began reeling in Fultz. With the laps winding down Odie stayed right with the leader, hoping for a bobble or mistake. Fultz was flawless from flag to flag capturing his third win of the season in the Quality Masonry, Phillips Excavating, Porta-Clean Inc. sponsored CVR Race Car with power from a DJ’s Performance Race Engine.
