In the 20-lap Street Stock feature, Samantha Anderson took the early lead at the drop of the green flag with Chuck Harrison second. Jason Lafayette was third with Nicole Chambrello quickly moving up to fourth and Johnny Walker following right behind her in fifth. Right behind Walker was Tess Beyer in sixth and George Bessette, Jr. in seventh.
Beyer got by Walker to move into fifth on lap-8 while Lafayette got around Harrison to move into second as Anderson continued to hold the race lead. Harrison slid back to seventh in line as the order was now Anderson, Lafayette, Chambrello, Beyer, Walker, Bessette and Harrison with 10 laps complete.
Chambrello’s car dropped off the pace and she limped back to pit road on lap-13 while Lafayette took the lead from Anderson. Beyer followed in Lafayette’s tire tracks to move into second with Walker fourth and Bessette fifth.
Beyer got around Lafayette to take the lead on lap-17 and the caution came out with 19 laps complete for a spin in the middle of turns 3+4 by William DesJardins to set up a green white checkered finish.
Beyer took the lead on the restart with Bessette nearly making a move for the lead. The two cars raced side by side into turns 3+4 and as they headed towards the white flag, Beyer spun and collected the car of Lafayette. The race stayed green and Bessette led the field to the checkered flag to pick up his fifth win of the 2018 season and put an exclamation point on his championship winning season. Mike Hopkins finished second with Meg Fuller edging out Travis Hydar by a nose for fourth place and Walker rounded out the top-5.
