Young Jeff Smith was the early leader of The Bob Valenti Auto Mall Late Model main event. Vin Esposito challenged him through the first several laps, while the field behind raced two and three wide. Caution waved for a three car incident in turn 1 which resulted in a lengthy cleanup for damp track conditions.
As the race progressed, Groton resident Thomas was advancing through the field along with Tim Jordan. Thomas moved to the outside of Smith and secured sole possession of the lead at the event’s halfway mark. Jordan duplicated the move for second place when caution waved one lap later for a spin in turn one.
Thomas held ground over Jordan during several more restarts to go on to the 30-lap victory, his fifth win of the year. Thomas stretched his points lead over Rich Staskowski to 48 points.
