Turpen also won on the series’ previous night’s stop at Fort Payne Motor Speedway.

In the www.rockauto.com USCS Victory Lane at the end of the 30-lap main event, Turpen said” I really had to race hard tonight for this one and I really appreciate the car Terry Gray gave me tonight. We really like this J&J Auto Racing car, it has been fast every night.”

Dale Howard said in a post race interview, “We were pretty fast early, but our motor was kind of flat. We had the same probably last week at Talladega. We gotta’ go home and find the problem to get a few more R.P.M’s”.

Behind the fleeting Turpen/Howard duo in a three-car battle for the final podium position were third-year sprint car young gun driver, Kyle Amersonfrom Matthews, Alabama, sprint car veteran Ryan Coniam from Denver, Colorado and eleven-time USCS National Champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee. Those three drivers put on quite a battle for the huge crowd in attendance. In the end, it was Amerson who claimed the K&N Filters Podium Award third position behind Howard with Coniam following in fourth place and veteran Terry Gray rounding out the top five.

Jeff Willingham from Ripley, Mississippi headed the next group in sixth place followed by Joe Larkin, a USCS regular and veteran sprint car racer from Suwannee, Georgia who finished in seventh place. Sprint car Rookie of the Year contender, Don Warren from Clarksville, Tennessee driver finished in eighth place. Joey Schmidt from Ellisville, MS followed in ninth place and Brian Thomas from Pendergrass, Georgia rounded out the top ten finishers.

Morgan Turpen won the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat. Dale Howard collected the win in the Brown and Miller Racing Solutions Second Heat. Tim Crawley also earned the most passing points in the heat race action. As the first heat race-winner, Turpen then drew a Zero in the K&N Filters Pole Award drawing.
