HUGHBANKS CONTINUES WINNING STREAK
Outside pole sitter, Zach Hughbanks grabbed the lead in the IMCA Sport Compact feature. Alex Thompson reeled in Hughbanks and with four laps to go, they raced door to door for the lead. Thompson, still looking for his first victory of the season, slipped by Hughbanks with two laps to go. Hughbanks continued to hang with Thompson and they continued to race side by side. Desperate to retake the lead, Hughbanks threw a slide job to reclaim the lead but Thompson crossed over to hang on. As the white flag waved, contact between the leaders led to an action packed finish. When the checkered flag waved, Zach Hughbanks held on to win his fourth straight victory over Alex Thompson. Harrison Schwartz finished third head of Averie Lageson and Dustin Thompson.
