                 Posted by Wayne G. Barber

In the 30-lap Late Model feature event, Michael Wray and Tom Butler were side by side for the first 2 laps in a duel for the lead with Butler getting the better of that battle.  Josh Wood quickly moved into second, with Adam Gray right behind him in third.  Michael Scorzelli was fourth and Tom Fearn quickly worked his way into fifth.  Wray fell back to eighth after fighting for the lead in the opening laps.

Wood made a move to the inside of Butler on lap-7 and he took the lead in turn 3.  Gray followed Wood by Butler, who settled into line in third with Fearn behind him in fourth and Scorzelli was fifth.  Gray ran behind Wood until lap-12 when he made a pass in turn 1 to take over the lead.  Behind them, Butler was still running third, with Fearn in fourth and Scorzelli in fifth.

On lap-21, Michael Bennett passed both Fearn and Scorzelli to move into fourth place and one lap later saw Kevin Gambacorta move by Scorzelli to take over sixth place.  The next lap saw Gambacorta move by Fearn to take over fifth place as Gray continued to lead Wood, Butler, and Bennett.

After three consecutive second place finishes to open the season, Gray put himself into victory lane for the first time.  Wood came home in second, with Butler, Bennett, and Gambacorta rounding out the top-5.
