STRAND HOLDS OFF DAHL IN BARN BURNER FINISH
In the final feature of the evening, it was not only a race for the win, but a race against the weather as rain in the distance was starting to settle in. Pole sitter Caden Robert led early before defending track champion, Shawn Strand, took the lead on lap two. Strand quickly distanced himself from the field but as the laps wound down, Mark Dahl started to cut into Strand’s lead. By lap 10, Dahl was challenging Strand for the lead. They raced side by side, door to door for several laps. However, lapped traffic made it an exciting race for the win as the leaders sliced and diced their way around the slower cars. Coming to the white flag, Dahl cleared Strand for the top position. However, as they raced back to the checkered flag, Shawn Strand just narrowly edged Mark Dahl for the win. Points leader Jeremy Keller finished third ahead of Travis Tooley and Logan Schmitz.
