to finish, but DFR's Chuckie Creech shadowed
Goodman till the finish line in the 2nd
spot |
“Chuckie was really going strong and he was
definitely running faster than me. He was pushing
me really hard the entire race and I think if he
would have had a chance to pass me he would have
and won,” said Harold Goodman, who was thankful
for the tough passing conditions at the track just
for that reason.
The pair pulled away from the rest of the pack
but Goodman was able to hold of Creech for the
win, with Creech finishing in a very close second.
A pile up on the start cleared out quickly and
did not cause any red flags, but it did cause
Brian Ace to have mechanical issues, sending him
to the back of the pack.
Meanwhile the battle was brewing between Casey
McKibben, Michael Coburn, Josh Hibdon and Brad
Riley. Coburn was on a mission to chase down McKibben
early on in the race, but Coburn would encounter
issues and drop back, which allowed Brad Riley
and Josh Hibdon to move in behind McKibben.
