What won the race: Second-running Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, Tenn., inherited the lead on lap 31 when race leader Ray Cook of Brasstown, N.C., retired with mechanical issues. Piloting the Austin Trucking GRT Race Car, Johnson led the remaining distance for a $3,000 victory over Riley Hickman.

The final yellow flew on lap 36 for a two-car tangle at the tail of the field. ... Friday's feature event was shortened to 40 laps because of time constraints. ... The program was initially delayed due to a scoring system glitch and there was no dash or redraw. ... It was the first race of a Steve Hixson-organized weekend of $3,000-to-win, $300-to-start Super Late Model 50-lappers. ... Saturday's action moves to Fort Payne (Ala.) Motor Speedway and Sunday's action to Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tenn. ... Jason Welshan was the winner of the Crate Late Model event. ...
