4:36 PM The AMS Pro Mod Series gets the honor of running the first final round of this event, the Sportsman competitors still a few rounds away from going final. And the Sun just came out! It's 60 degrees, 32 percent relative humidity, the absolute barometer 29.83 inches, and the sun peeping in and out of the clouds with a track temperature of 76 degrees.

Ashley nailed the tree, but Stott had the muscle to run him down before the 330-foot marker, Ashley slightly out of the groove and sliding around. That was it, Stott running away to win by more than a car length.
