Jensen Ford enjoys Wartburg victory lane with his family.
What won the race: Inheriting the lead when frontrunners Donald McIntosh and Jordan Rodabaugh collided on lap 11, Jensen Ford of Johnson City, Tenn., raced to victory in the Valvoline Iron-Man Racing-sanctioned Donald "Ducky" Jones Memorial at Wartburg Speedway. Ford pocketed $4,000.
Quotable: “Kinda had it handed to us right there. McIntosh and the 66 (Rodabaugh) got together and it just kinda presented itself right in my lap,” Ford said. “I was lucky enough to get by them. It didn’t really get tore up that bad. I knew after that, just stay around the bottom and protect the bottom and I knew we was gonna be hard to pass.”

On a lap-11 restart, race leader Jordan Rodabaugh and second-running Donald McIntosh made contact which resulted in both spinning, handing the lead to Jensen Ford. ...
