Mike Marlar built a nearly 5-second lead in the main event only to lose it to hard charging Hudson O’Neal in the races later stages. But a flat tire on O’Neal’s machine would eventually hand the lead back to Marlar and he would go on to seal the $23,023 victory.
Kyle Larson jumped in a Modified for the first time in his career and put on an impressive showing as he dominated the main event. In doing so, he now has victories in seven different divisions at Eldora.
In Super Stock action, Earnie Woodard found victory lane again in his famous 01 machine.
