The Super Stocks were out in full force on Saturday, with the second-largest car count in track history for a track special event for the class. In 2014, 40 cars signed in for the big race, with 39 cars on hand this year, the event featured one of the largest car counts in the region for a single class special event so far this season.

Russellville, Missouri’s Derek Henson and Scott Johnson of Nevada, Missouri began the night’s Super Stock main from row one. Henson quickly established a quick pace to lead the field ahead of Scott Johnson, Richie Tosh, and Dean Wille through the opening laps after a pair of early caution periods. At lap seven for the restart, Henson then led Tosh, Johnson, Kyle Davis, James Nighswonger, and Marc Carter in a fierce battle to keep a spot inside the top five. Yellow again flew by lap 12, with Henson, Tosh, Johnson, and Carter occupying the top four. By lap 15, Tosh began searching for a faster line and moved up to challenge Henson for the lead through a lap 18 restart. When racing resumed, Henson led Tosh, Carter, Jason Winkle, Ted Welschmeyer, and 17th starting Blaine Ewing. From this point on, the drivers provided some of the best racing of the season with a flurry of action for nearly every position. For the restart, Tosh grabbed the top spot to lead lap 19 just as Winkle moved to third. By lap 22, Henson moved back to the front over Tosh, Winkle, Carter, and Ewing. On the next lap, Tosh retook the lead for lap 23 but Henson fought back to lead laps 24 and 25; however, Tosh fought his way back to the front shortly before the field slowed again for Nathan Vaughn as his car got upside down, luckily the driver was okay and drove away from the scene. For the restart, Tosh again was strong through one final caution at lap 32 to set up a three-lap dash for the win. Tosh then led Henson and a very fast Ewing, who found the high side to his liking as he moved to third. Over the closing laps, first challenged Henson for second and eventually grabbed the spot to set his sights on the leader. As the two took the white flag, the action was close with Tosh low and Ewing high. Despite his bid for the win and having to transfer to the main event, Ewing’s bid for the win came up just shy as Tosh claimed the $2,500 victory and first-ever CMS win. Ewing was a close second with Henson’s fantastic night resulting in a solid third place run. Winkle and Carter rounded out the top five. Michael Muskrat advanced from fourteenth to claim seventh, with Nighswonger, Aaron Murry, and Johnson completing the top ten, in what was a fantastic event for the class.

Behind the lead trio, Jake Richards, Colin Pierce, and Jake Fetterman raced for a position inside the top five. Caution slowed the field at lap eight with Ebert out front. For the restart, Ebert held his machine out front at the halfway point, just as fifteenth-starting Stephen Clancy worked his way to the top five. Caution again flew at lap 13 with Smith showing the way over Evert, Isaacs, Tim Karrick, and Clancy for the restart. One more caution slowed the field at lap 14, to set up a six-lap dash to the finish. Smith continued his torrid pace up front as Isaacs challenged Ebert on the high side for second, over the closing laps the pair raced hard behind Smith, who eventually went on to collect his 44th career CMS victory.
