(Mike Garvey's #1 Photo Courtesy of Speed51.com)Both Mike Garvey and Johnny VanDoorn looked like they would be in contention as both of them were near the top of leader board during all the practice sessions. In the second session VanDoorn was 2nd quickest of the 27 car field. Unfortunately when qualifying rolled around VanDoorn had broken something in the motor. Instead of qualifying he ended up starting dead last in a Scott Hantz backup car. VanDoorn turned two laps and pulled into the pits during the main event. Garvey on the other hand qualified tenth. Garvey's start was his first in a Late Model in 6 years.By lap 50 Garvey had moved up to fifth. While challenging for the fourth spot Garvey made contact with Donnie Wilson on the front stretch which caused Wilson to spin. After a long delay CRA officials put Garvey to the rear. With 35 laps left Garvey would restart 13th. In true Mike Garvey fashion he charged his way to a fifth place finish. Garvey appeared to be the fastest car on the track at the end but ran short on laps. Augie Grill was the winner followed by Chase Elliot, Bubba Pollard, Jason Hogan, and Garvey.
