TWO IN A ROW FOR MILLS IN NAPA BIG BLOCKS
A full field of 24 NAPA Big Blocks were on hand Saturday night with father and son, Bobby and Brandon Watkins winning the heats.
Kevin Sockriter was fast from the drop of the green from his pole starting position. Brandon Watkins took up the chase from second with Jordan Watson running a close third. Jamie Mills was hammer down from his ninth starting spot and when Watson took second, followed into third.
Watson’s challenge ended on lap seven when the car slowed down the back straight bringing out the yellow. On the restart Mills took up the chase of the leader with Bobby Watkins and Matt Jester filing into third and fourth.
Mills moved on top for lap nine just and the yellow flew for a tangle between Carson Wright and Scott VanGorder. For the second week in a row, JoJo Watson was on the move in the Blue Hen team car as he worked by both Sockriter and Jester for second by the halfway sign.
While Mills maintained solid control of the lead JoJo and Jester swapped second. With five to go Jester nailed down the spot but was unable to catch Mills. It was the second straight win for Mills with Jester second and JoJo Watson third. Fourth went to a late charging Matt Hawkins and Sockriter held off Bobby Watkins and Jim Britt for fifth.
