— Not even Mother Nature could hold back the determination of Bobby Pierce Wednesday night. Pierce started from fifth on the grid and worked his way through positions four and three in the first 20 laps, getting around Joe Godsey and Payton Freeman in the bottom lane – a place few others dared to venture out. “The bottom was really good, it really surprised me,” Pierce said. Now with only Billy Moyer Jr. and leader Devin Moran still in his path, Pierce could smell victory lane stronger with every lap completed. Moran and Moyer were the first to reach lapped traffic, and when they both faltered behind the slower cars, Pierce took advantage, getting by both cars on the bottom.
