and Ryan Peer (Four Cylinders) took the remaining wins.

charge from Drew Ritchey to secure the win. Ryan Lynn,
Matt Kline and Scott Lutz trailed. Ron Aurand and McVey
had won the heats back on July 21.
In the regularly scheduled 305 event, Scott Lutz led
from the pole seemingly effortlessly, until Garrett Bard
put on a late race charge. Om the white flag lap, Bard
made a wild move and snared the win from Lynn. Drew
Ritchey rallied to come home third followed by Scott Lutz
and Brad Mellott. Bard and Mellott won the heats, the
first of which was highlighted by a wild flip and fire by
Bob Garvey.

Limited event but he drew a crowd. When Wilson
slipped just a bit on lap nine, both Tyler Ritchey and

by Donnie Farlling, Wilson and Taylor Farlling. Yoder and
Matt Parks had won the heats run back on July 21.

down in the closing laps but he could not force an error
and settled for second ahead of Charlie Clise,Dalton
