Keith Jackson kisses the roof of the winning car at Hagerstown.
What won the race: Polesitter Keith Jackson of Odenton, Md., led all 40 laps in dominating fashion to collect an $8,000 victory over Rick Eckert of York, Pa., in Hagerstown Speedway's Ernie D's Fall Bash. He pulled away from Eckert amid traffic to win by 2.329 seconds with Gregg Satterlee, Kyle Lear and J.T. Spence rounding out the top five.
Quotable: “If Rick would have got the lead, I really highly doubt that we would have got back around him,” Jackson said. “When I was a kid I liked watching him (Eckert). It’s pretty awesome to race him but better to be able to beat him.”
