Weeks extended his series points lead with just two series events remaining. Chris Ferguson of Charlotte, N.C., was second and Dennis "Rambo" Franklin of Gaffney, S.C., who is second in series points, finished third. Ferguson edged ahead of Weeks early, but the move was negated by a caution when Justin Labonte rolled to a stop on the backstretch. Ed Gibbons of Manning, S.C., ran second late in the race but slipped back to fourth amid traffic on the final lap.
The series completes the weekend with a Sept. 20 event at Lancaster (S.C.) Motor Speedway.
