Darryl hills and Paul Crowl brought the field to the initial green flag. Crowl a heat race winner earlier in the evening got the jump on Hills and took the early race lead. Meanwhile sixth place starting Bare had worked his way to second by lap six. Bare then tracked down leader Crowl and made what would be the winning pass for the lead on lap nine. Bare would then lead the remaining circuits unchallenged to score the very popular win. " It's always nice to win here", Bare stated from victory lane. We were headed to Elkins Speedway tonight but they got rained out early so we decided to make the four hour tow to Potomac and here we are.
One time winner Jmaie Lathroum came strong for second, early leader Paul Crowl ended a great night third, three time winner and current ponts leader David Williams fourth and former track champion Ray Kable Jr crossed the line fifth. Heats for the 19 cars went to Keith Jackson, Bare and Crowl.
