Jamison, Rhoads, Stowe, Adams, Francis and Nichols Conquer Brushcreek
(Peebles, Ohio) When race fans and race teams converged at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex on July, 12 they were treated to bright sunny skies. As the hot afternoon sun faded into the night the action heated up on the 1/3 mile high banks. Jenera, Ohio's Clint Jamison picked up the late model feature win.

On the restart, leader Morrison emerged from turn one with Jamison and Marty Huntley in tow. Over the next five circuits Morrison and Jamison mixed it up for the lead as Huntley followed closely behind the duo. Jamison finally slid by Morrison on lap seven.

Jamison continued to hold the point when Huntley moved past Morrison for second on lap nine.
