Home town racer Keegan Kincaid took the hole shot and never looked back getting first place. “First day at Crandon, I knew I had to be smooth, kept my pace and came with this Traxxas, AMSOIL, Maxxis Tire Pro Light on top today. It feels great to take a win in front of the home town, this is better than my first win being in front of family, hopefully we can do it again tomorrow,” stated Keegan.

In Sunday’s race Keegan put the hammer down and won the second days race. Brad Lovell took the second place finish both days which helped his points chase. CJ Greaves came back from Saturday’s mechanical failure taking the third place spot on the podium.
