What won the race: Going from third to first in the final two laps, 17th-starting Jacob Hawkins of Fairmont, W.Va., rallied for a $2,000 RUSH victory in the Gary Knollinger Memorial. the 15th-starting Max Blair, leading for a lap-23 restart, ended up second while Jared Miley, who led the first 22 laps, was disqualified after contact with Blair on the previous double-file restart sent Miley over the turn-one banking.

Quotable: "I always wanted to win this race so it feels great to get it done," Hawkins said. " I as a little concerned starting 17th, but I know how hard (car owner) Jerry (Haseleu) works on it. Every time I've driven it, it's been good enough to win, so if it didn't make it to victory lane, it was going to be my fault."
