What won the race: Rallying after a lap-33 flat tire, sixth-row starter Brandon Williams of Crossville, Tenn., came out on top Sunday at Wythe Raceway for a career-richest $10,019 victory on the American Crate All-Star Series. Williams eight laps, including the last two, in taking the checkers ahead of polesitter Carson Ferguson, who led most of the way at the half-mile oval but settled for second.

Ferguson went back to the lead on laps 47-48 before Williams led the final two laps. ... Willliams won his second career touring victory; his first came Jan. 15, 2017, in on the Durrence Layne Winter Series. ... Williams was a month removed non-series Crate event paying $3,000 at his hometown track. ... Third-finishing Kyle Hardy of Stephens City, Va., made his debut in the Billy Hicks-owned No. 79. ... The 50-lapper lasted nearly 90 minutes and required an unscheduled mid-race fuel stop. ...
