En route to finishing second, Speedyman11 led 25 laps of his own to fuel a serious battle for the trophy. In a fine effort, d3efan occupied the final step on the podium, crossing the finish 1.2 seconds behind lepage71. Not to be overlooked, Bandit and BlackKnight were no slouches either, locking down fourth and fifth to fill out the top-five. The victory, lepage71's fifth of the season, strengthens his buffer over Speedyman11 in the standings to 35 points. In its next event, the Truck Series heads to Bristol in what promises to be another shootout.
