Joe Gibbs Driven

The night featured a 100 lap feature for the Bojangles Late Models, a 50 lap feature for the Advance Auto Parts Super Trucks, a 35 lap feature for the Jewelry Exchange Limiteds, and a 30 lap feature for the Street Stocks. The competition was intense as drivers battled against one another all night for the honor to head to victory lane.

There was a full field and great competition for the Woodforest 100 featuring the Bojangles Late Models. It was clean racing from the moment the green flags waved, with the #10 of Andy Mercer on the point and slowly pulling away from the field. Debris on the race track, spotted on lap six, brought out the first caution of the event. It was go time from there, until the #29 of Andy Loden and the #00 of Lucas Ransone were jammed up in traffic coming out of turn four sending Ransone for a spin on lap seven, bringing out caution number two. It was a clean restart and Loden wasted no time making his way into the top five. Using his usual high line, Loden was able to work his way into second place by lap 16 of the 100 lap feature.

By lap 35 Mercer was coming up on lap traffic which allowed Loden to gain more ground as he made his way to Mercer in the first place position. It didn't take long for Loden to make his move on Mercer, using the high side coming out of turn four to capture the lead. Forty laps into the event it was a tight battle for third as the #25 of Sam Watts went door to door with the #89 of David Latour Jr. Watts also used the high side coming out of turn four to grab the precious track position.

It just wasn't Ransone's night as he spun heading out of turn two on lap 55 bringing out the third caution of the race. From the restart it seamed as though Latour Jr. was having the rough night as he lost track position to Watts and the #43 of Jess LeFevers. On lap 67 Latour Jr. made contact with #42 of Todd Goble on the back stretch bringing out the fourth caution and causing damage to the left front fender of Goble's ride.

With only thirty laps remaining Watts made a move on Mercer trying to capture the second place position, Watts got loose going into turn four causing him to loose momentum and the second place spot. As 15 laps remained the action was in the battle for fourth. The #70 of Britt Andersen, #31 of Kyle Grissom, and LeFevers took it three wide heading for the back stretch.

With ten laps remaining the action was again in the battle for the lead as Mercer put the pressure on Loden. Mercer made several attempts to regain the top spot, but he just didn't have enough time to take over Loden. Watts was able to hold on for third, Grissom fought his way back up in the field to capture fourth, and Goble came home in fifth.
