Thunder Stocks

At the start of the 17-car Thunder Stock feature, Scott Schweisfurth spun from the front row causing a multi-car melee behind him as traffic scattered. On the complete restart, Leonard Flores jumped to the point on lap 1, but rookie Anthony Gordon moved in on lap 2. After a brief side by side run Gordon got the point, with Steve Osbourne grabbing second and Steve Joyce getting third.

 

Osbourne pressured Gordon until his car starting throwing sparks from underneath, and eventually went up in smoke on lap 15 dropping fluid on the track that sent Mona Turner Turner spinning and Flores into the tire wall. Gordon held off Joyce on the restart, while Joey Tschoerner and Richard Rumley roughed each other up scrapping for third and Jason Stanley was making his way to the front after an earlier incident had him sent to the tail.

 

In the final laps with the youngster Gordon still holding his own up front, Stanley got by Joyce for second and ran down the teen for the lead. Gordon slipped a couple times, but Stanley was not close enough to capitolize on the mistake. Stanley kept the pressure on the last lap, but Gordon, in only his fourth race captured his first ever checkered flag.
