HIGHLAND, Ill. — A last-minute decision by Jordan Goldesberry paid off as the Springfield, Ill., driver picked up his second-career Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series victory at Highland Speedway on Saturday night.
Goldesberry rolled off from the second starting spot alongside polesitter Gage Montgomery. Taking the lead on lap two, Goldesberry led until the checkers fell on the 25-Lap affair.
Gage Montgomery comfortably held onto second, while a four-car battle ensued for the third spot. Corbin Gurley muscled from his seventh starting spot to finish third, ahead of Joe B. Miller and Logan Faucon.Â
The race was slowed twice for two separate incidents, a 360-degree spin for Shane O’Banion and Paul Nienhiser, who made contact with the turn four wall, resulting in a DNF.
The finish:
