By Doug Watson

The win for Moore, worth $2500, came steering his Ryan Sager owned Rocket no.22* and would be the 4th of Moore’s Hagerstown career.

Moore blasted into the lead at the drop of the green flag and would never look back as he would lead the distance to secure the coveted win. “We are definitely on a roll this season and it’s been a while since we won here at Hagerstown.” Moore stated in victory Lane. “The track was really fast tonight and we were so tight I never thought we could pull off a win. I want to thank Ryan Sager and his crew and all the people who’ve helped me throughout my career.” Devin Hart, Kyle Lee, 15th starting Shawn Shoemaker and Kenny Yoder would complete the top five. Qualifying took place last Friday and taking heats over the 40 car field were, Greg Moore, Shaun Miller, Scott Palmer and Kyle Lee with twin B-Mains going to Jonathan DeHaven and Cody Lear.
