Jason Jameson climbed atop his winning car in victory lane.
What won the race: Charging around the high side, fourth-starting Jason Jameson of Lawrenceburg, Ind., overtook polesitter Victor Lee of Danville, Ky., on the fifth lap, leading the remaining distance for a $4,000 victory in Richmond Raceway's unsanctioned Rain Dodger 40. The checkered flag waved on lap 32 when heavy rain started falling.
Key notes: With his victory, Jameson earned a starting spot in June 1’s Mike Roland Memorial sanctioned by the Southern All Stars Series. … Third-place finisher Justin Rattliff is among weekly winners at Richmond so far this season. … The race was slowed by three cautions. … A yellow flag waved on lap three when Shawn Martin slowed in the bottom of turns one and two; fifth-running Brandon Fouts retired his smoking No. 81 machine to the pit area under the caution. … Martin drew another caution on lap seven when he spun on the frontstretch. … A yellow flag flew on lap eight when Connor Meade spun in turns one and two. … The program was briefly delayed by rain early in the evening. … Along with the Southern All Stars, Richmond is scheduled to host the Ultimate Southeast Series for the $20,059-to-win Paul "Butterball" Wooldridge Memorial on Aug. 16-17.
