fourth. Concord’s Linda Cunningham completed the top five.

After a tremendous three-way battle for the top spot, Irvin won the pure stock feature event. The other combatants in the race, Brian Love and Chad Allmon both of Mt. Pleasant, finished second and third. Junior Cress of Concord and David Miller of Stanfield completed the top five.

Harrington won the fast and furious fours feature over Chad Miller of Concord and Ben Smith of Harrisburg.
