The World Stock Car Festival on Labor Day Weekend saw Louisville, Kentucky native Chuck Barnes Sr. take the win in the make-up event from August 14th, but not with out some controversy as he and Miles made contact in turn three coming for the checkers. The contact resulted in Miles spinning in turn four, Barnes went on and collected his first feature win at Winchester Speedway.
