Feature Re-cap: At the start of the 50-lap main event it was Whitener who charged to the early lead with Davenport, Clanton, Overton and Strickler trailing. Clanton took second from Davenport and Strickler passed Overton for tfourth on the second circuit. Strickler continued to climb as he moved around Davenport on the third lap.
Strickler soon moved to second by passing Clanton. Further back, Overton took fourth from Davenport on lap 4 then he went to third by getting around Clanton.
By lap 10, Strickler had closed on Whitener to challenge for the lead as the leaders worked through slower traffic. Strickler wrested the lead away from Whitener on lap 15 then Overton slipped by Whitener for second one lap later.
Davenport moved by Clanton for fourth on lap 21. At the same time, Overton closed to the rear spoiler of Strickler as they raced for the lead. Overton’s advances would be rewarded on lap 23 when he took the top spot on the leaderboard passing Strickler.
Strickler kept Overton in his sights as the race moved into its second half. A lap 32 caution for the spinning car of Crane bunched the pack with Overton leading Strickler, Clanton, Whitener, and Davenport.
Whitener surged back to the lead on lap 35 by taking to the high groove around the track. Whitener and Overton continued to fight for the race lead with Overton retaking the lead on lap 38 when McCreadie slowed.
Whitener went back to the front on lap 40 with Overton and Davenport in his tire tracks. Davenport went to the runner-up position on lap 42 then closed on Whitener to challenge for the lead. With five laps remaining, the No. 49 went to the lead running right on the bottom of the speedway but Whitener fought to stay close.
Overton grabbed second on lap 48 but it would be Davenport who would sail to the checkered flag to claim yet another win in 2022.
The victory boosted Davenport’s season earnings to just over $2 million.
