What won the race: After swapping the lead with Dalton Cook on the 82nd circuit, Tyler Erb of New Waverly, Texas, took command a final time the following lap and paced the remainder of Sunday's 52nd annual National 100 finale at East Alabama Motor Speedway. Taking the checkers 1.274 seconds ahead of runner-up Dennis Erb Jr., the 28-year-old Texan secured a $30,000 paycheck for his second-straight National 100 victory.

Quotable: “I just had to quit making mistakes,” Erb said. “The first night in traffic I smoked a lapped car and let Brandon (Overton) get by me and got flustered, and last night Brandon threw a banana peel out getting into one there and I spun out. We’ve got something going on right there tonight. I don't really know what it is, but the longer the race went on, the better it was.”
