After a dominating performance and sending the rest of the guys to school on how to drive a race car on the Atlanta Motor Speedway, a simple speeding penalty during the last green-flag pit stop would pull the rug out from under Ryan Moody, giving 2nd place finisher Robert Baucom the win.

Baucom and Moody spent most of the night in close-quarter combat, but it was some of the best racing we've seen all year between the two.  Baucom was the pole-sitter and led the opening laps, but David Kilgore would get out front and lead 21 laps of the 114-lap event.  Kilgore's night came to an end after getting caught up in a spin by Chuck Chamblee after Chamblee got loose while racing Moody for the lead after a restart.

Although Scotty Formosa had a pretty good car, he was no match for Moody either.  The top three cars of Moody, Baucom and Formosa were clearly the drivers that were going to settle things in the end.

The turning point in the race came during a lap 100 green-flag pit stop.  Moody could not get his #7 Geico machine slowed coming to the commitment line entering pit road, exceeding the 45 mph speed by almost 7 mph.  Moody went on to lead the remainder of the race and took the checkered flag first, but officials penalized him in the post-race inspection for the speeding infraction.  Robert Baucom woulf be given the win, followed by Scotty Formosa, Allen Marshall, Jeff Rogers and Chuck Chamblee.  Luke Grafx would take the top three positions.

As the SSRL Cup season creeps closer and closer to the chase segment of the championship, seeding points are beginning to be on some of the top twelve drivers' priorities list.  Chuck Chamblee is one of the top-twelve drivers that has prioritized winning races over collecting points as of late, which was obvious to his competitors and race fans Monday night after he picked up his first ever Brickyard trophy at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Lickskillet, Alabama's Derrick Claunch took top honors in qualifying, and would lead the field of 21 starters to the green flag.  The night got off to a rough start for some, including series point leader and five-time winner this year's Scotty Formosa, as he was the second car out of contention due to ignition problems on the County Line Motors, Luke Grafx Chevrolet.  3rd place point man Daniel Frederick, Jr was also sidelined early after being caught-up in an early incident.  But several drivers, including Chamblee were having a great night.  Ryan Moody emerged as the race leader after things settled down with the caution flags, after many drivers put into practice their pit strategies to try to capitalize later in the race.  Botched restarts also played havoc on some drivers, making mid-pack a fairly dangerous place to be.

Up front at the half-way point, Chase Spradlin was ready to make his bid for the lead, passing Moody for the lead after a hard-fought battle.  Chamblee followed suit with a pass on Moody to take over 2nd, as Chris Ginn worked his way into the top five.  Chamblee moved in on Spradlin a few laps later and took the lead, showing that he was going to be a force to be reckoned with.  Chamblee and Spradlin would swap the lead a couple of times in a great show of sportsmanship, each respecting the others' racing room.

But inside the final 30 laps Ginn would position himself as the race leader after a caution period, leading eight laps before Chamblee got by him to retake the lead.  Spradlin also got back by Ginn a few laps later and ran right in step with Chamblee as the duo began to close in on their final pit stops.  That stop would come on lap 65 with just 15 laps remaining as Chamblee peeled off of turn 4 under green, with Spradlin right on his heels.  Chamblee locked his brakes trying to get the #25 Bobby Allison Racing Pontiac slowed to the required pit road speed of 55 mph, just barely missing a speeding penalty.  Both cars got their pit work done in a hurry, but it would be Spradlin off pit road first to take the lead.

Chamblee didn't seem too worried though as he ghosted Spradlin for the next nine laps.  Spradlin did a masterful job of breaking the slipstream, trying to keep Chamblee from gaining any momentum in the closing laps.  But Spradlin's car began to get tight off the corners, allowing Chamblee to gain on him on the long straightaways.  Chamblee drew alongside Spradlin down the backstretch with just four laps to go, but Spradlin was able to hold him off going into turn three.  But once again Chamblee used momentum to get to the outside of Spradlin on the backstretch with just two laps to go, this time clearing Spradlin and looking towards the white flag.  Once clear, Chamblee pulled out to a ten-car length lead and held on to take the win.  Spradlin would hang on to finish 2nd, followed by Derrick Claunch, Chris Ginn and Mike Keller, rounding out the top five finishers.

Brian McBrayer took the lead on the final lap of last night's 200-lap Pro LM Series feature at Nashville Speedway with a little bumpin' and rubbin', snatching the lead from Jake Morris coming to the checkered flag and taking the biggest win of his SSRL career.
