— Shane Cottle certainly possesses a flair for the dramatics at Gas City I-69 Speedway. Grant beat Ballou to the bottom of turn three and held it down around the infield tires to beat Ballou to the stripe. With 11 laps to go, Ballou found himself in a heated dogfight between himself, Brady Bacon and C.J. Things got feisty when racing resumed on the lap-21 restart when Grant, Ballou and the emerging Cottle stood tall, three-wide in turn three. In response, Cottle skated by Ballou on the bottom for second while Grant eked out to a five car length lead over the next couple of laps. Right away, Cottle put it up front as he slid up in front of Grant on the bottom of turn one. C MAIN: (10 laps, top-4 transfer to the feature) 1.
