The IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock point leader drove to his third straight win and eighth of the season on the Vinton quarter-mile.
Pole-sitter Jason Cox held the lead for the early stages of the 16-lapper before Leah Wroten made her bid for the top spot on the fifth circuit. As Wroten made her way into the lead, Ballard chased her into second.
Wroten fought off pressure from Ballard until he was able to sneak by for the lead with four laps to go. Ballard held on for the win while Wroten fought off pressure from Justin Wacha to finish second.
