What won the race: In an attrition-filled 40-lap feature at Volunteer Speedway, Cla Knight of North Augusta, S.C., took the lead from Philip Thompson after after an early restart and never gave it up. While Thompson retired on the eighth lap, Knight survived the remaining distance for a $2,000 Fastrak Racing Series payday.

Quotable: “Man, this win here tonight is what not only myself but our race team has been working so hard for,” Knight said in victory lane. “We’re racing against stiff competition on the Fastrak Racing Series Dirt Late Model tour and we’ve had several top five finishes and come awfully close to winning a race, but we just hadn’t been able to close the deal. This is so awesome to finally get our first win.”
