SOPHIA – Corey Wilson captured a special 50-lap feature in the Chargers division Saturday night at Caraway Speedway.

Wilson chased down points leader Matthew Smith then zipped past Chargers champion Brody Duggins to claim the $1,000 first-place prize.

Duggins finished second and Smith was third, followed by Caden Everhart, Lucas Cram, Richard Shoffner, Odell Graham and Jason Gallimore.

** In the Grand National Super Series, AJ Henriksen posted victories in two 50-lap features.

Henriksen edged Mason Walters and former NASCAR Cup winner Jeremy Mayfield in the first feature. Jamie Mosley and Bob Schacht rounded out the top five.

The second race was tight as Henriksen held off Mayfield by less than one second. Mosely was third, followed by Walters and Bobby East.

** In UCARs, substitute driver Daniel Hughes filled in for Jeremy Kidd and prevailed in the first of two 12-lap features in a tight finish with Ron Mock. Jimmy Cooper, Tito Clapp and Justin Smith were next.

Mock improved a spot to win the second feature, with Cooper, Hughes, Smith and Zack Moore in the news few positions.

** The Crown Vic division winners were Steven Collins and Dean Levi. The runners-up were Brandon Mock and Christian Morris.

** The women’s-only Powder Puff race was one by Erica Collins, who survived the 10-ap competition.

Saturday’s race card was the first of three across an eight-day stretch.

Wednesday night is the CARS Tour as part of the Firecracker 265. Then comes Saturday night’s Rusty Harpe Memorial with SMART Modifieds, Limited Lake Models and Carolina Crate Modifieds.
