Robbie Emory captured Saturday’s FUEL feature at County Line.
What won the race: Robbie Emory of Milton, Del., won Saturday's FUEL-sanctioned 30-lap main event at County Line, leading every lap from the pole to outrun Russell Erwin and Matthew Bissette for a $2,000 victory. Emory finished 0.565 seconds ahead of Erwin for his fourth career FUEL triumph.
Key notes: Michael Batten's broken driveshaft while running third on an early restart triggered a frontstretch mess; a red flag was required for the cleanup but no injuries were reported. ... Thirteen drivers finished the race with 11 completing 30 laps. … Emory broke County Line’s track record in time trials. … County Line hosted the FUEL Series for the second time this season. ... The track elected to start all 25 entrants instead of cutting the field to 22 cars.
On the move: Brad Rigdon of Chesapeake, Va., started 24th and finished 10th.
