Once out front Jennings easily outran the competition on every restart building nearly a full straightaway advantage over Kevin Green, Talon Minten and Don Painter at the finish.

Veteran IMCA Sunoco Stock Car competitor Jason Batt scored yet another victory, this one with a twist. Saturday, Batt was driving his wife Robin’s, car after blowing the motor in his own ride Friday night in Waco.
