CENTRAL CITY, Penn.

Fetters seemed to be heading to his first Thunder Valley win as he held off Devin Friese for the first 12 laps. But when Friese dropped out on lap 13, Everhart, still with Johnson in tow, was all over Fetters. He kept the pressure on Fetters for 13 more laps until Fetters retired on lap 25.
With Everhart in the lead it became a 5 cars group at the front as DJ Troutman and Scott Rhodes , who had started together in the 8th row, arrived. in the top five. Johnson and Mike Altobelli battled for second while Troutman and Rhodes tussled over 4th. Troutman's day ended with a blown tire and a trip into the wall on lap 34, setting up a one lap dash to the checkered flag, but Everhart again held off Johnson and took the win. Johnson took second for the third time this season at the track. Rhodes completed his rush from 16th to third followed by Chuck Clise and Mike Shoemaker. Rick Singleton who squeaked into the show with a late B feature pass got the hard charger award for coming from 23rd to sixth. Doug Glessner, Scott Lebarron, Gene Kain and Troutman rounded out the top 10. Fetters, Chad McClellan, Friese and Lebarron won the heats. Alan Sagi won the B. Fetters won the dash to start on the pole.
