By lap 8, Ashley was running away from Litton and Patrick Daniel, but was approaching heavy lap traffic. Boen, Schrader and Moore ran three wide for the eighth spot on lap 9.

At halfway the top five were Ashley, Daniel, Merchant, Litton and Boen, with Merchant and Litton side by side.

The races only caution waved on lap 25 when Moore spun due to a flat tire. This rebunched the field with Daniel on the bumper of Ashley as green flew again. Ashley got a big jump on Daniel who got passed by Merchant for second. Boen blasted by both Daniel and Merchant to take the runner-up spot on lap 26.

Litton and Jason Ingalls made contact in turn 2 sending Litton banking off the wall, but never missing a beat. Schrader grabbed seventh from J. Ingalls on lap 29. With ten to go, Ashley had moved away to ten car lengths over Boen who had big gap back to Merchant in third. Vaughan reeled in Merchant on lap 32, with the duo side by side on lap 33. Schrader also picked up another spot getting around Daniel for sixth.

Boen began to quickly run down the leader Ashley with five laps remaining and was close enough to take a look low on lap 36. Boen got by Ashley in turns 1-2, but Ashley fought back going down the back straightaway to hold the point. Boen used the same move in turns 1-2 and snagged the top spot on lap 37, while Merchant and Boen were still slugging it out for third.

KELLY BOEN
“David(Ashley) is a great racer and great guy. The (late) yellow gave us a chance, I knew I had to do something after the yellow. I rolled under him (David Ashley), the car hopped a bit and I just hung on until I saw the checkered flag fly. We had to borrow a ride to get down here, I don’t have a truck and trailer to do much traveling.”
“We had several months off, the car was ready and we just decided at the last minute when we got a ride down with John(Koucher)”
“ I plan to run the last year at Rocky Mountain National Speedway in 2005. If you take the best track out there and times it by five, it wouldn’t be half of what this place is.”
(Pre-race) “My chances tonight depend on the track, if it’s smooth and slicks off, I should be good. If it stays tacky, the swing arm, Rayborn cars will do better. We only had to make a few changes on the body on tires to be able to run with SUPR”
DAVID ASHLEY
“I led too much of this to lose it with three (laps) to go. I don’t know where he (Boen) came from. I knew we were good midway through the race and that we had the car to beat.”
“On a caution the crew indicated someone was close and I looked up at the scoreboard and saw #28 (Kenny Merchant) and #75 (Patrick Daniel). I never saw the #07 (Boen). The 07 was pretty good but I thought I could get him back. I could have driven him dirty but I gave him room.
“This place has been pretty good to us, two top two finishes and a top five.”
KEN SCHRADER (NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series driver):
“We just missed tonight on the tires. The track was a little hard due to the weather; one end was a little different than the other. We just missed it a little tonight but we haven’t finished a race in a couple of weeks so this is better. It turned out to be a good show tonight with a lot of passing all over, that’s what you want.”
“We have run the dirt car a lot this year, in Phoenix, Florida, Alabama, all over. I always look forward to getting in it.”
“There’s not a nicer dirt track in the country, both here and at Charlotte. So when I get a chance to get here, I do it.”
