In the final Rudd and Phillips put on a good show for the fans as both were solid on the tree and ran two very quick laps, but Rudd ran closer on the numbers. Rudd ran a 7.484 on a 7.47 dial at 179.30 mph while Phillips ran a 7.414 on a 7.37 dial at 185.13.

Stock winner Myron Piatek also had an interesting road to the finals, besting the largest field on the property to get the win. Piatek, who logged one of the longest trips to be in MIR over the weekend from Holly Hill, Fla., qualified 27th behind the wheel of his ’75 Dart and worked his way through a field of heavy hitters including Gene Jordan, Lisa Bolton, Junior Bryant, Anthony Bertozzi and Jack Zimmerman before meeting Brandon Peterson in the final.
