Jonathan Davenport won The Gauntlet dirt late model feature at Davenport Speedway in Bulls Gap, leading all 60 laps of the 60-lap race. It was Davenport’s seventh win of the season, and promoter Vic Hill had posted a $100,000 bonus that boosted Davenport’s total take for four nights to more than $137,500.

Ricky Thornton Jr. finished second, Mike Marlar third, Cody Overton fourth and Chris Madden fifth. Organizers scheduled a Saturday finale that paid $30,000.

Chris Madden won the Friday-night 50-lap Gauntlet preliminary at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap. Starting from the pole, Madden took the lead on lap 30 after Davenport suffered mechanical issues and fended off a late challenge from Zack Mitchell to earn $20,000. Some reports said Davenport’s Saturday victory “capped a sweep” of the weekend’s high-paying programs, and those accounts conflict with preliminary results showing Madden’s Friday $20,000 win.
