JAMIE MILLS OVER NEPHEW JORDAN WATSON IN NAPA BIG BLOCKS
Feature lineups on opening night were heads-up from the qualifying heats putting heat winners, Jordan Watson and Beau Wilkins in the top two slots. Jamie Mills took advantage of his outside starting spot and rode the outside groove past Wilkins into second on the start. Mills immediately put the pressure on Watson and continued his outside charge to take the lead on lap thee.
The only caution in the race took place on lap six when H.J. Bunting nearly tangled with Wilkins and spun at the end of the back straight. Watson made a bid to take the lead on the restart but “Uncle� Jamie was up for the challenge and held him off. Brad Trice, who started in ninth, was up to the third spot with Wilkins and Shawn Ward rounding out the top five at halfway.
Mills was able to increase his lead in traffic and by the checkered flag had a 3.7 second advantage over Watson who finished in second. Trice took the third spot with Wilkins fourth and Bunting returning from the rear after his spin to finish in fifth.
“I looked back over my notes over the winter,� said Mills “and was looking for a little retribution for losing the championship last year here tonight.�
