GIBSONTON, Fla. — Mark Whitener went to victory lane for the second consecutive night in Crate Racin USA competiton at East Bay Raceway Park during the 45th annual Winternationals Friday night. Kyle Lukon grabbed the early lead and set the pace that sent the leaders into lapped traffic by the sixth circuit. Thursday winner Whitener stalked Dylan Knowles for second, finally making the pass on lap 13 for the runner-up spot. As Lukon wound through traffic, Whitener closed the gap, moving inside on lap 22 to contest the top spot. That attempt did not yield a lead change, so Whitener tried the high side three laps later. This maneuver would prove fruitful as Whitener took the top spot for the second consecutive night. Lukon, Knowles, Jeremy Shaw and Logan Roberson rounded out the top five.
