HICKORY, N.C. – Matt Craig led nearly every lap of Saturday’s CARS Super Late Model Tour opener at Hickory Motor Speedway, but he didn’t have the honor of leading the most important one. Instead that honor went to Carson Kvapil, who snookered Craig on the final lap to steal his first series victory. Kvapil was never more than a few car lengths away from Craig throughout the race and he really began to close the gap in the final 10 laps. With five laps left Kvapil was right behind Craig and hounding him for the lead. On the final lap Kvapil made his move, moving below Craig coming out of turn two. Craig gave up the position and pulled the crossover on Kvapil, diving back under him as they raced into turn three. We’re both going to drive it into the corner,” Kvapil said.
