He had five wins this year before this race, three in Stock and two in Super Stock. Make that three in Super Stock. Fletcher had the better light and stayed out in front the whole way to get his six national event win of the season.
That's the final final and we are done here at Maple Grove. After all the bad weather and
downtime we had this weekend, eliminations today went like clockwork and we finished up at a
reasonable time of day.
