At Daytona Elvis Boris proved to have the most dominant car before a crash knocked him out. Today at Talledega he proved to have the most dominant superspeedway car on the circuit. At the line with two laps to go Boris found himself in 12th place, stuck on the outside line in a 14 car group. Somehow Boris worked his way to the bottom line and began picking off car after car. At the white flag had moved up to 4th. Coming down the backstretch and into turn 3 on the final lap Boris went underneath J.P. Provo to take the lead and held off the rest of the cars for the win.
1st and 2nd in points Stroker Ace and Chris Snow had tough days finishing 25th and 22nd. 3rd place Robbie DeWeerd finished 39th while 4th place Nick Phillips gained quite a bit on those three with a 6th place finish. 5th place William Paige had a good points day by finishing 8th.
