Kurt takes out a little frustration on Wilson in the final. Performance seems to have returned to the Johnson clan and they get the win. That keeps KJ's winning streak alive as well. This makes seven straight years that KJ has won at least one race. The weekend is not lost for Wilson. When he beat Warren in the semi final round he clinched the #9 spot in the POWERade series this season. He entered the event in the 13th position.
