After a couple of different spins at different ends of the track, the caution would come out disrupting the current top 5.

With 8 laps complete, the first caution would come out as we had a spin in turn 1 and a slow car in turn 4. Cody Keith would bring out the caution when he spun in front of the field. Thomas Holbrooke would get a piece of that and retire to the pits. The caution would come out as a huge plume of smoke erupted from the 49 of Brad Hamm.

Our final event, the Ultimate Super Late Model Series $4000 to win, 40 lap feature event. Chris “Smokey” Madden and Benji Cole would lead this stellar field to the green. Good, clean start by these guys, although a jumble at the middle of the pack would see heavy contact amongst several drivers.

Casey Roberts held onto the 3rd spot, as Dustin Mitchell held onto the 4th spot with Russell Erwin rounding out the top 5. Madden would lead the field to the green after a quick caution, followed by Cole, Roberts, Dustin Mitchell and Russell Erwin. Chris Madden, with about a 3/4 of a second lead over Cole, would again catch up to the tail end of the field and begin lapping cars. Coming up on half way, Madden continued to lead the field as further back through the field would see hard racing for each and every position. Damon Kotke, running 1 lap down in 17th, would bring out the caution when he slowed in turn 4 on lap 23. Giving the field a chance to regroup after a couple of caution laps, Madden would again lead the field to green. Smooth as ever, Madden leads the field around County Line Raceway with ease followed by Casey Roberts, Benji Cole, Dustin Mitchell and Russell Erwin. Dustin Mitchell would power his MastersBilt Chassis around Benji Cole for the 3rd spot, but it was sill all Chris Madden out front. With 7 laps to go, Chris Madden continued to lead this outstanding field of drivers around the track. It was an all out battle for each position as the laps wound down, but Chris Madden seemed to have hit the cruise control on his black 44 ride, as he sailed around one final time before taking the checkers. Ladies & gentleman, your winner of the Ultimate Super Late Model Series, Chris “Smokey” Madden from Gray Court, SC flashed across the line at 10:40 PM to take the win with a 1.5 second margin of victory over Roberts. “We had a great race car. The JRI Shock package we have is just awesome. These guys have worked hard and gave me a great race car and we were able to show just how strong we were. We took care of our tires early on and then just made sure we didn’t get in any trouble with lapped cars. I really need to thank Baird Transport, Hamricks of Gaffney, KC Transport, Henderson Amusement and Elite Concrete along with Bloomquist Race Cars and Cornett Race Engines for this win,” Madden was quoted while standing in the VP Race Fuels / Hoosier Race Tires Victory Lane. Madden was followed by Casey Roberts, Dustin Mitchell, Benji Cole, Russell Erwin, Travis Hair, Britches Liles, Neal Sykes, Roger Lucas & Zack Mitchell. Speaking with Chris after the race, he had this to say about County Line. “I really liked the track, it was real racey. I heard several talk about turn 2 being tough to get through so I made that an area to be good in, try to be better than anyone else. I enjoyed racing here, I have been to a lot worse tracks and raced.” Casey Roberts also said he enjoyed racing at CLR and was thankful that the Ultimates were able to race here & hopes to come back. Benji Cole said he liked the track and there would have been a couple of adjustments he would have made to help his car if he knew before the race what the track would do. He said everyone was friendly; track staff, fans and other drivers. Baggerly said it was fun, just had flat tires that took him out of contention.
