Pevely, MO (May 22, 2004) Ed Dixon of Washington, MO claimed his 556th career feature win as he led all twenty-five laps enroute to the victory in the U.M.P. Late Model division. Dixon took the lead on the opening lap from his outside front row starting position as he out-paced pole-sitter Justin Allgaier into turn one on the opening lap. Allgaier apparently missed the setup early on and faded all the way to the tenth position when the first and only caution flew on lap three when Brent Kreke slowed to a stop on the back-stretch. On the restart, Dixon once again assumed command of the lead as Mark Voigt and Kevin Gundaker battled relentlessly for the second spot. Tim Ratajczyk, Kyle Steffens, Steve Shive and Allgaier battled lap after lap for the fourth spot. Dixon went on to claim the win, Gundaker edged out Mark Voigt for second. Allgaier worked his way back through the field and took the fourth spot. Ratajczyk came home fifth.
