Carr charged from his 17th starting position to collect the $1,000 payday, crossing the finish line in front of Zachary Stalker, Jeremy Huebner, Donnie Wilson, and Keaton Streeval.
“I tried using my head the best I could, I’m sure I made a few mistakes but we was able to get it done. Everybody raced me clean tonight coming up through the field tonight, the track was great,” Carr said, who was unable to qualify or compete in his heat race due to a mechanical failure.
Stalker, who started in the 19th starting position, was pleased with his second-place finish.
“It was a good night at Brownstown, we had 32 cars with a lot of competition,” Stalker said. “Once again, Dad had the car setup just perfect.

but I’m wore out after that one. The track hasn’t been hammer down like that but I enjoyed it.”

Colton Sullivan picked up right where he left off in the Super Stock division, visiting victory lane for the second consecutive weekend. Sullivan started on the pole for the main event.
