Championship decided in Sportsman Division at Bowman Gray Stadium

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - It all comes down to this.  One race, double points, 40-laps.  The championship is on the line and it's Tommy Neal leading Zack Clifton by a scant 29 points. And it would be be an uphill challenge for Clifton starting deep in the field with Neal rolling of sixth.

The 75 car of Andrew Durham led the first half of the race with John Holloman IV in hot pursuit, both drivers getting aggressive with Durham blocking Holloman and Holloman vowing to take him out if he blocks again.

Zack Clifton got caught up in a mid race accident in turn 2 and had to rally from the back.



Tommy Neal hovered near the front of the race for the duration.

A multi-car crash in turn 3 with just a couple of laps to go set up the championship finish and the 81 car of Zack Clifton was able to drive through the mess setting up a close championship battle at the end.

Re-starting with a one lap shootout, John Holloman IV take the win with Tommy Neal in 2nd and Zack Clifton finishing 5th.

Tommy, the Tiger, Neal wins his first Sportsman Division Championship at the Madhouse for 2016.
