GIBSONTON, Fla. — Justin Webster recovered from a heartbreaking defeat on Friday to win Saturday night’s Top Gun Spints main event on night three of the 48th Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park.
Garrett Green had been dominant through the race, but a determined Webster would not let the leader out of his sights. With just a few laps remaining, Webster was able to find a clear track to grab the lead and the win.
Webster had the dominant car on Friday, but was denied victory then. It only served to drive the family team to the end result of victory. Webster had won his heat race, so he picked up the additional $600 in the Lee and Jeff Barfield Memorial Clean Sweep award.
Green finished second, while Steve Diamond Jr., who won on Thursday and Friday, came home third. Luke Hill and Brandon Grubaugh completed the top five.
Cody Allen went back to back, winning for the second consecutive night in the V-8 Warriors/Thunderstocks division.
Jo Jo Davis bested the mini sprint field and 16-year-old Will Karas completed a sweep of the micro sprint class.
Kayla Jones topped the gladiator feature.
The finish:
Feature – Justin Webster (21), Garrett Green (82), Steve Diamond Jr. (20c), Luke Hill (41), Brandon Grubaugh (G6), Danny Jones (14), Robbie Smith (6S), Tyler Clem (14c), Billy Bridges (11B), Jeff Bye (26), David Kelley (12), Dustin Burtron (97), Tyler Orzechowski (380, Tyler Porter (99), Trey Meredith (11), Aileen Collins-Love (17c), Joe Zuczek (50), Scott Baldwin (4), Owen Dimm (17), Brian Riddle (2M), Lucas Rodriguez (2R), Andrew Griffin (32)
