The Street Stock feature was one of four divisions featured at the 9^th Annual Miller’s Racing Parts Fall Classic presented in part with Insinger Performance Fuels.

On Friday night, Jim Crocker from Reisterstown, MD won the exciting Classic Cars 20 lap feature event.

The 50-lap Street Stock feature event began with Friday’s Cash Dash Winner Mike Walls taking the early lead from the pole position on the green flag start. Walls led the first 17 laps while being pursued by Bill Henney until mechanical problems forced Walls from the race. Henney then inherited the lead and began a torrid pace around the 4/10 mile oval with Marshall McMullen, Scott Thunberg and Mike Franklin in pursuit of the top spot. Thunberg moved into the runner-up spot one lap before the midway point. Three caution flags in the second half of the race put Thunberg on Henney’s rear bumper, but Thunberg was unable to make the winning pass for the lead. At the finish, Henney was victorious over Thunberg with Franklin finishing third. McMullen settled for fourth, followed by Jim Palm Jr. rounding out the top five. Sixth place went to John Bouse, followed by the B-Main winner Eric Tripp in seventh. Zac Beck earned the hard charger award coming from a 23^rd place starting spot to claim eight.

At the end, Chad Stine took home the second place finish over Cameron Benyou and Ricky Bender. Dan Furman rounded out the top five at the finish. Mike Goodwin finished in sixth, followed by Donnie Broderick, the race’s hard charger, coming from 23^rd to finish seventh.

On the tenth lap, Jeremy Ott overtook Hollenbach for the lead and led until he retired from the race on lap 20, giving the lead back to Hollenbach. After taking the lead for the second time, Hollenbach went on to lead the final 11 laps to claim the victory over Steve Hastings. Early leader Garlock finished in third, followed by the hard charger Josh Group who finished fourth after starting the race in 18^th. Dennis Christ Jr. rounded out the top five. Heat race wins went to Hollenbach and Garlock.

On Friday night, the 20-lap Classic Car feature event in memory of Lyle Adcock began with one of his cars driven by Kurt Welsh taking the early lead.
