What won the race: Keeping the winner's hardware in his native country, Charlie Sandercock of Belleville, Ontario, parlayed a runner-up finish in the K&N Cold Air Induction Dash into his first-ever victory on the Sweeney Chevrolet RUSH Late Model Series Monday night.

Quotable: “It was starting to get nerve-wracking there at the end,” Sandercock said. “There were a lot of heavy hitters there in the first few rows. I was hoping it would go caution-free. I didn't even know he (Davis) was there. I was just trying to maintain my groove.”
