A lap five caution erased his advantage, but the 2025 Boone Speedway track and Iowa State champion was strong on the restart and again built a comfortable lead. Another red flag stopped the action on lap eight, but Gray continued to control the pace when racing resumed. The complexion of the race nearly changed on lap 17. Just as Gray began working into lapped traffic, he made [Read More]
