What won the race: Reclaiming control when mid-race pacesetter Adam Stricker suffered a flat tire on lap 38, pole-starting Nick Hoffman of Mooresville, N.C., fought off R.J. Conley over the final three-lap dash to win $5,000 on Saturday night at Atomic Speedway, giving him the Valvoline American Late Model Iron-Man Series weekend sweep. Hoffman led twice for 17 laps (1-14, 38-40) for his second Iron-Man victory in as many nights and the third of his career.
