I knew Mikey [Marlar] was pretty good, but we were a little bit better than him on the bottom. Once he ran my line I just kind of had to settle. I saw [Brian] Shirley peaking out there [on the outside], and when he threw that slider in one and two I was like, ‘Don’t miss the bottom.’
“Those two guys are two of the best. To come out here and outrun them, it’s awesome.”

“Obviously we wanted the win, but we were still pleased with our weekend results against such a tough field of cars,” Ferguson noted. “This weekend I’m really excited to enter the USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway.

The North Carolina racer put a cap on the crown jewel weekend with a fourth place finish in the finale in his Diff-Tran Machining #22 K and K Trucking/ Sweet-Bloomquist Race Car/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

We also battled a tight condition all weekend, and I actually pushed on the last lap giving up a couple of spots.
