TAZEWELL, Tenn. (July 24) - The Southern National Feature with Chris Madden and Billy Ogle Jr. on the front row. Into turn one they charged with the advantage going to Madden. Ogle slid back to third behind Jonathan Davenport. Ogle went on the attack in an attempt to grab second but Davenport was holding his line keeping Ogle just behind. A caution on lap 12 lined up the ultra fast field for another restart. Madden moved ahead but the field was slowed by a spin from Ross Bailes. Just behind the leaders Shane Clanton and Rick Rogers were making passes trying to get to the front. Madden loved the high side and was keeping the field in his dust as Ogle was trying once again to get second by dropping to the low side of Davenport. Vic Hill liked the low side too and began pressuring Rogers for fifth. Madden sliced through traffic well and stayed out front with Davenport still as his shadow. On lap 42 Davenport took the point away from Madden in lap traffic and stayed ahead until the last two laps. The last two laps were as exciting as any race ever seen at the Taz as Madden and Davenport traded the point several times in the final two laps. Davenport not only won the race and $ 5,300 but he took home the Southern National series championship. Madden took second and Ogle third. There was no doubt that the fans got the most out of the admission tonight as most were on their feet throughout the final laps of the great feature race.
