For the second time in two nights, father and son visited victory lane at the same track on the same night.

After starting in the fifth position in the Late Model feature event, Robbie Blair jumped into the lead on lap 9 and would lead the remaining distance to capture his second feature win of the weekend.

Fourteen Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Models were led to the green by Scott Gurdak and Dave Lyon. Lyon had a fender lead on Gurdak at the end of one lap but then established the sole lead next time by the flag. Robbie Blair came to second at the end of five laps, looking for his second win of the weekend.

The early laps featured an exciting duel for the lead with Blair driving hard into the turn in an attempt to gain the lead, only interrupted by cautions at laps five, eight, and nine. The leaders ran side by side after the lap nine green flag with Blair assuming the lead at halfway.

Blair then opened up his lead as Mike Knight challenged Lyon for second by lap 18. Lyon held on for second over Knight, Gurdak, and Jason DuPont.

Heat 1: Scott Gurdak, Jason DuPont, Dave Lyon, Mike Knight, Greg Johnson, Dennis Lunger, Chris Hackett, Jason Morell

Heat 2: Robbie Blair, Ryan Scott, Scott Johnson, Rich Gardner, Doug Eck, Ron Davies, Greg Oakes
