​A 1934 Ford Model 40 Special Speedster that was the winning car in this replay. Image from here.

This race was peculiar in that during its last half, no one had any problems or trouble and most of the lead drivers and their cars improved as the race went on. Again, avoiding any kind of trouble or setback was key in keeping in the mix to win the race. Though Art had only only hiccup it was enough to strand him in last place for most of the race - that, coupled with the good performances of everyone else.

​Everett began to pull away with about 40 laps to go. Brian gave a good chase but was unable to catch up.
Dave and Alex were in a dogfight for their positions the last part of the race as was Mike and JP.
