POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (May 14) — Tanner English of Benton, Ky., rallied from his 18th starting spot for a victory in Saturday night’s Professional Crate Racers of America feature at Black River Raceway.

Hometown driver Kyle Berry finished third with Bobby Dauderman of Alhambra, Ill., and Tait Davenport of West Paducah, Ky., rounding out the top five finishers. Jeff Floyd of Walnut Ridge, Ark., led 20 laps but a flat tire knocked him from contention.
