What won the race: Restarting fourth on the 22nd lap, 18-year-old Ryan Montgomery of Fairmont, W.Va., took command from race-long leader John Waters and raced to a $1,200 victory on the Sweeney Chevrolet RUSH tour at Lernerville Speedway. Alan Dellinger and Waters finished second and third in the 25-lapper.
Quotable: "I thought it was over when John slid me in one and two," Montgomery said. "I figured he was better; he was out front, and rolling. I was spinning my tires off turn two and off turn four. I'm definitely not a cushion runner so I stayed on the bottom and that worked out apparently. I backed out of it in turn two or I was going over the hill or was going to take us both out. I knew I had to slide him off four. That was my only chance or his momentum was going to kill me. I tried my darndest and it worked out perfectly! We've been struggling all year, but finally won last Friday and now tonight so hopefully we can keep it going."
