third getting past the DR56 of Hieber Jr. while Doug Sherwood (Piscataway,
NJ) who was tough all evening after winning his heat race and running in the
top 5 all feature long. The last caution of the evening would set up a late
race shoot out. "Hicks got a good run into turn one on me and he could
have slid up in front and take the lead but he held his line and I was able to
get off turn 2 and pull him down the back stretch Stated Page". Page would
go on to collect the $800.00 pay day followed by Hicks, Huber, Hieber Jr., and
Sherwood. Kyle Hieber (Langhorne, PA) made a late race challenge for the top
five position but would fall just short. Hieber was clearly the hard charger of
the race coming from 15th to 6th by the races end.
