It was a barnburner of a race.

Leary took the lead from his outside pole starting spot at the drop of the flag and was pulling away. While this was happening it was a free-for-all for 2nd between Dickie, Andretti and Moffatt. After a yellow for the stopped Matt Goodnight (I'm thinking lap 8) Moffatt was able to separate himself from the other two.

But Moffatt wasn't having much luck cutting into Leary's lead until around lap 15. From my vantage point it seemed he changed his line in turns 3 and 4, coming off of 4 a couple lanes lower. That seemed to make all the difference as he began to real in Leary. With only a few laps to go Moffatt caught Leary. With two to go both caught a lapper. He held no one up but Moffatt seemed to find a little better way around him and took the lead. Leary tried the crossover to regain the lead but it was too late. Moffatt was on his way to victory.

Dickie Gaines came home third and Garrett Abrams fourth. Without writing anything down I dare not go any further without the aid of Sandy Lowe.

The track took on rubber in the course of the feature but the track was plenty racey. The cushion was way high, only a foot or two away from the wall. Many were riding the cushion which was so high it would have made Don Branson proud. The only wall contact that I saw was 20 laps in when JT Stapp jumped it slightly, kissed the wall and got a little flare from the wheel contact. JT continued on unimpeded and finished well.

The Moffatt victory was one of the most popular with the fans, and a victory I will not soon forget. Joss gives his all and leaves everything on the track week after week. Joss was a little overcome by the win. Part of it was because it has been a while since he put it in the circle and the other part is because he was very appreciative of the ovation he was receiving from the crowd.

This is all I have.
