NIGHT #1 USRA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

STARTED 5TH

FINISHED 8TH

63 B-MODS.  John won his heat race from 3rd.

Passing a dozen drivers and adding to it 63 bonus points for the true car count bonus, the win was a big step for Morton in keeping pace in the USRA national points with Ryan Gillmore and Kris Jackson.

Gillmore, however, claimed the runner-up finish with Jackson taking the fourth spot behind Brad Smith. Doug Keller, Iron Man Series points leader Andy Bryant, Steve Clancy, John Allen, Dan Hovden and Josh Most rounded out the top 10.

Brett Heeter’s 12th Holley USRA Stock Car win of the season came at his home track Thursday night as he led all 15 laps en route to pocketing the $500 top prize.

After surviving a flurry of early-race cautions, Heeter had to hold off Elijah Zevenbergen at the checkers to complete the wire-to-wire win.
