Boom Briggs won $3,000 at McKean County. (Derek Bobik)
Briggs, who started outside the front row, took the lead from polesitter Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove, Pa., on the eighth lap and never looked back en route to his seventh career series victory.
Third-starting Chad Hollenbeck of Kingsley, Pa., was second and seventh-starting David Scott of Garland, Pa., was third while Dan Stone of Thompson, Pa., and series points leader Mike Knight of Ripley, Pa., rounded out the top five.
Yoder lost a potential second-place run when he got loose and nearly spun in turns three and four with two laps remaining, slipping back to sixth at the finish.
Matt Urban's lap-11 spin in turn two brought out the 30-lap feature's only yellow flag.
