Craig Von Dohren Collects 6th Saturday Night Points Race Win at Grandview Speedway

Craig Von Dohren moved from his 14^th starting position to 2^nd  place in 18 laps and then used the first restart of the night to take the lead and pull away from the field to take his 6^th Grandview points race win of the season.

Pole setter Carroll Hines III took the lead and opened up a 3 second lead over 2^nd place Darrin Schuler in the first 17 laps.  The first caution flew on lap 18, just after Craig Von Dohren had moved into the 2^nd place.  On the ensuing  restart, Von Dohren bolted into the lead and opened up a 6 second gap over second place Carroll Hines III until the second caution came out on lap 27. On the 2nd and final restart, Von Dohren easily maintained his lead and drove into victory lane with a 1.3 second margin of victory over second place Jeff Strunk for his 6th Saturday night point win of the season.

The top ten was rounded out by 2^nd place Jeff Strunk followed by Brett Kressley, Carroll Hines III, Michael Storms, Nate Brinker, Kevin Graver, John Willman, Doug Manmiller and Duane Howard in tenth place.  

Heat winners for the 34 car modified field were Darrin Schuler, Nate Brinker, and Ryan Beltz.  Brett Kressley won the last chance consolation.
