In Chub’s heat race Chub was leading it with 2 laps to go when he suffered a flat tire, Chub pitted and the crew changed it when Chub returned to the track the field had all ready restarted and Chub tagged the tail of the field and worked his way back to 4^th place and that was good enough to put him in the dash for tonight’s feature where he finished 3^rd which puts him in the 3^rd starting position behind Davey Johnson and Booper Bare.

At the start of tonight’s feature Johnson led the first 5 laps with Bare and Chub in tow. Booper passed Johnson on the 6^th lap and Chub got by Johnson for 2^nd on the 13^th lap Bare went on to lead until the 22^nd circuit when Chub and Bare entered lapped traffic Bare went to the top and Chub went to the bottom where he took over the lead on lap 24 a yellow flag flew which left an open track in front of Chub and he went on to win the feature tonight that paid A $10,000 first place prize, from the $42,000 purse at the semi-banked 1/2 mile racing facility.

"We finally got one,” Stated the very happy winner. "Actually, this is a little early for us. Usually we don't start winning Renegade DirtCar Series races until June or July", chuckled Chub. "The lapped traffic worked great for me but not for Booper. When we got into the rear of the field in turn three Booper had to choose real quick whether to go high or low. When he went outside the only thing I could do was squeeze it between the slower car and the inside fence. Luckily, it worked out for us".
