Britt Bridges The Gap

BULLS GAP, Tenn. — Landon Britt parked in victory lane on Saturday night after winning the 30-lap USCS Clash at the Gap finale on the high banks of  historic Volunteer Speedway.

Britt and the previous night’s winner, five-time NRA Invaders series champion Jared Horstman traded slide jobs throughout the event.

Britt led every lap of the wild winged 30-lap war. But, on lap 15, Horstman made a pass for the lead only to have it negated when the caution flag waved.
When racing went green again, Britt was back on the point with Horstman, Eric Riggins Jr., USCS points leader Danny Smith and two-time USCS champion Morgan Turpen comprising the top five. 

Over the final 15 caution-free laps, Britt continued his mission toward victory lane while Horstman threw everything at him but the proverbial kitchen sink.
In the meantime, Riggins reeled Horstman in and pulled even with him with two to go down the back straightaway, but, couldn’t make the pass. 

When Britt crossed the finish line, Jared Horstman followed in the runner-up spot. Riggins was a close third, followed by Smith and Terry Gray..
The finish:

Feature (30 laps): 1. 10L-Landon Britt[1]; 2. 17-Jared Horstman[2]; 3. 47-Eric Riggins Jr[3]; 4. 4-Danny Smith[4]; 5. 10-Terry Gray[8]; 6. 10M-Morgan Turpen[6]; 7. 11G-Luke Griffith[10]; 8. 7E-Eric Gunderson[5]; 9. 28-Jeff Willingham[7]; 10. 100-Wade Buttrey[12]; 11. 67-Jason McCoy[9]; 12. 7D-Donnie Goodwin[11]; 13. 10K-Dewayne White[13
