THE FRONT THREE ROWS DID NOT PRODUCE A SINGLE WINNER.

August 29 belonged to the drivers who could solve traffic, changing lanes, and late-race pressure.

– Cale Riggs, No. 96 — 10th to first in the Hulsey Racing INEX Legends

– Christy Barnett, No. 44 — ninth to first in the Vado Speedway Super Trucks Series

– Caleb Smith, No. 02C — seventh to first in the S.H. Automotive Pure Stocks

– Josh Cain, No. 3J — ninth to first and $1,000 richer in the Extreme Landscaping USRA Stock Cars

– Carlos Ahumada Jr., No. 65X — seventh to first in the Mendoza Law Firm USRA Modifieds

Riggs found a paved-road feeling around the top. Barnett took the lane that following traffic could never give her. Smith held an older engine wide open above the field. Cain protected the bottom through a final two-lap shootout. Ahumada waited for one opening in the moisture and converted it into the winning pass.

Five features. Five charges from Row 4 or deeper. Thirty-seven combined positions gained.

All five feature winners ended the night in Rio Grande Waste Services Victory Lane
