New Flash, #11 Michael Houston had dropped all the way back to 6th place after hitting a tree early in the last lap, which allowed Bryan Cook for take over the final podium spot, but he had the podium hungry Matt Smiley all over his rear tires with less than 4 miles to go.
Michael Houston was now feeling the pressure from Bryan Baker trying to pick up one more position.
Incredibly, William Yokley powered his Suzuki past both Rice and Trew and took over 8th place and was wishing this was a 5 lap race instead of only 4 laps.
#10 Greg Trew would attempt to reel in #8 Jeremy Rice as he worked his way through lapped traffic.
Meanwhile, a battle raged on between Derisi, Lagzdins, Knippenberg, and Brandon Ballance as they swapped positions back and forth throughout the race.
With less than two miles to go, Chris Borich squeezes past Bill Ballance in fields and takes over the lead with Bill trying any line he can think of to get back around Chris Borich before the checkered flag.
After several last minutes attempts to make the pass, Bill Ballance would have to settle for 2nd Place and 2nd Place in points with Chris taking the win and points lead.
It was very obvious that Bill was disappointed with his finish because after winning for so long anything short of a win just isn’t satisfactory, which is completely understandable from our Five Time Champion.
#4 Matt Smiley was also make the pass on Bryan Cook after he made a small mistake which allowed for Matt to make the easy pass and take over the final podium spot.
#4 Matt Smiley was able to hold onto for his 3rd Podium appearance this season aboard his Polaris Predator.
Congratulations Matt :macho
Matt will eventually get a chance to read this once I finish reparing his computer and return it to him at Loretta's.
#6 Bryan Cook would have to settle for a 4th place finish, which was welcomed after a string of bad luck that has kept him out of the top 10 all season.
Finishing right behind Cook in 5th was #7 Chris Jenks with yet another top 7 Overall finish moving him into 5th in the Pro Class.
#23 Bryan Baker would go on to pass #11 Michael Houston to finish in 6th place with William Yokley finishing only 2 seconds behind Houston in 8th
