Colton Sullivan of Columbus became the ninth different winner of the year in the Pewter Hall Super Stocks. Tucker Chastain led the first half of the race before sliding over the bank. Tanner Chastain took over the lead with Sullivan in tow. The duo were side-by-side on the last lap of the race and coming off Turn 4 to the checkers, they had to navigate around a slower car.
