Justin Williams heads to his prestigious victory in Concord, N.C.
What won the race: Polesitter Justin Williams of Concord, Va., won a battle over Thomas Robinson in the final laps at the Dirt Track at Charlotte to collect $2,000 in a Southeastern Crate Association bonus race. Williams led the first 22 circuits before Robinson grabbed command for the 23rd lap, but Williams moved back out front for the final two circuits and drove to victory by 0.623 seconds.
Quotable: “I apologize to (Robinson) because I might’ve gotten into him racing for the win, but that’s great racing,” Williams said. “This is probably the biggest crowd I’ve ever won in front of. This is awesome.”
