If you thought night one of the Labor Day Classic was the weekend’s peak, you would be sorely mistaken. With the 604 and 602 Late Models back for another night, and Thunder Stocks and Street Stocks joining the party, it was sure to be a good time for all who came on Sunday night.<\/span><\/p>\n Once again kicking off the features, the 604 Late Models had a familiar face return to victory lane for the first time since his \u201cFlip & Win\u201d at the Sunshine Nationals. That man would be Mark Whitener, who dominated the entire feature from the get-go. Whitener started on the front row and quickly took the lead by the end of turn 2. He would not look back the rest of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 604 Late Models Feature 25 Laps | 00:17:04.233<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was all about Heath Walker in the Street Stocks as he fought off a charging herd of Rick O\u2019Steen and Donnie Ashford to claim his first win of 2022. But it was a rough night for points leader Bruce Griffin after his car was severely damaged in an accident on the frontstretch. The points gap is only three away from O\u2019Steen as they enter the final race on October 1st.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Street Stocks Feature 20 Laps | 00:18:55.231<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the past three years, it was almost guaranteed that Trey Mills would be fast and in contention to win. It was proven once again this year as he took home the 602 Late Models feature win ahead of Jason Garver and Nevin Gainey. The win also ends Nevin Gainey\u2019s streak of winning in a Late Model that started on August 6th.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 602 Late Models Feature 25 Laps | 00:37:18.046<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Thunder Stocks was a special night for winner Patrick Thomas, as it would be his first ever win on dirt after years of racing asphalt cars. He controlled most of the night ahead of Jason Gamble and Justin Reynolds, who would finish third.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Thunder Stocks Feature 20 Laps | 00:19:22.709<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The next race at the World\u2019s Fastest Half Mile will be the Fall Classic on September 17th.
