Donaldson and putzracer put the pressure on, together leading 47 laps, but on the final lap it was Donaldson finishing just 0.113 seconds behind Speedy in second position. All three drivers drive for TMS Wolfpack. puttzracer finished third with this to say post-race... "Great night for myself and my TMS Wolfpack teammates, qualified and finished top 3. Looks like I am solidly in the next round of the championship hunt. I benefited from Duster running out of gas out of the last turn before I ran out on the front stretch, I knew that last run would be dicey but I managed to save just a little more fuel in the draft at the end to pick up my best finish of the season." DusterLag ran out of fuel on the final lap but held on to finish fourth... "Our #01 Daily Tech News Show Ford team wasn't sure how our night would go after qualifying at the rear of the field but we has a reliable car. I really let the team down with our qualifying effort and after working our way to the front of the field I was caught speeding on pit road entry setting us back again. In the end we finished fourth even after running of gas in the final turn. Looks like I'll be carrying the torch for NH Autosport as the only car in the championship chase still standings, lots of pressure there." Of note, Fordly56 finished fifth as the first car one lap down while BlackKnight earned the fastest lap award with a 29.467 second lap despite a sixth place finish. Rumors were heard in the garage area post-race about pit road procedure and potential penalties that may be levied this week against multiple drivers, including the race's winner Speedyman11 who has yet to receive a penalty this season.
