2005 CRA Super Series Drivers Points Champion Jeff Lane got his first win of the 2005 season by winning the Hargus Mullins Firecracker 125 at Angola Motor Speedway on July 2, 2005. Lane started the event in ninth, fell back to tenth in the early laps, but on lap 37 he began a charge through the field. Running on the low side of the track, where nobody else was able to run Lane was in fourth by the 46th lap, took third on lap 57 after a couple of cautions due to different cars losing their brakes, he then moved to second on the 81st lap. Lane then made up the half second he was behind the leader Bobby Parsley, passed Parsley to take the lead on the 85th lap. Driving hard through traffic he had a 2.2 second lead by the 100th lap and looked to be running away when a couple of late cautions cut into his lead and kept Parsley close, but Parsley was never able to mount a challenge as Lane took the win with Parsley holding on to second, with Eddie Hoffman in third.
