Earlier in the week, Michael Bennett announced his retirement from the Late Model division and had won a championship their in the past. In the 30-lap Late Model feature, Michael Wray took the early lead with Paul Arute slotting into second. Tyler Leary was third with Tom Fearn fourth and there was a side by side battle between Mike Quintiliano and Chase Cook for fifth with Quintiliano taking the spot on lap-2. Fearn got by Leary for third on lap-4 and that allowed Quintiliano and Glen Reen to follow him through as Leary fell from third back to sixth in line as Wray and Arute were still leading the pack.
With 10 laps complete, Wray and Arute were still the lead duo but the cars of Fearn, Quintiliano, Reen, and Leary were starting to close down the gap to the two front runners to make a 6-car train for the lead. Leary went by Reen to move into fifth on lap-13.
With 10 laps to go, Wray was still in command with Arute continuing to give chase. Fearn was third with Quintiliano, Leary, and Reen lined up behind him. Leary was applying heavy pressure to Quintiliano for fourth while Wray was able to maintain a two car length lead over Arute.
Wray led Arute to the checkered flag to pick up his first win of the 2018 season. Fearn finished third with Quintiliano and Leary rounding out the top-5. Source: Scott Running Stafford Speedway Press Release
