Fifty-eight race teams checked into the Goodland Raceway on Saturday night for the Bill Gray Memorial, visiting victory lane were Josh Barnhart in the sport mod, Brayden Hilzer in the hobby stock, Doug Holzmeister in the stock car and Eddie Belec in the modified.

Barnhart Strong in Sport Mod Action!

The sport mods opened the night, they ran two heat races won by Brianna Maughlin and Monty Nordyke. Their feature event started with a front row of Cody Burkhardt and Doug Beaman, Burkhardt held the early advantage but it only took three laps for Josh Barnhart to find the top three. Barnhart kept applying pressure and with five laps to go made the decisive move in turns one and two to take over the race lead. A caution on lap eleven, set up one last shot for the field to track down Barnhart in the closing four laps. Barnhart used his clean air and driving expertise to pull off his sixth win of the season, in twelve races. His second win of the season in Goodland! Second went to Brianna Maughlin, third to Doug Beaman, fourth to Monty Nordyke and Jasen Gray rounded out the field in fifth place! Hard charger in the event was Josh Barnhart who grabbed seven spots, while Brianna Maughlin gained five spots.
