Thompson, CT — Jake Johnson nabbed the pole position with a ‘+5’ handicap earned in heat two with former track champion Brian Tagg lined up alongside for the 50 lap Late Model Fall Showdown. After a pair of quick spin cautions to start the show, Johnson led the single-file line in the early going as Tagg soon fell under pressure from Matt Lowinksi-Loh, Jake Burns and Tyler Chapman. A lap 23 caution for Adam Pettey’s backstretch spin set up Lowinski-Loh’s lead on the restart with a missed shift for Johnson. Later, contact between the two allowed Monahan and Burns a chance at the front with ‘Rowdy’ Burns leading the fray. Burns would later miss a shift on the final restart with four laps remaining to but battled back for a photo finish with Matt Lowinski-Loh at the line. Lowinski-Loh took the $3,000 win by 0.054-seconds over Burns with Brian Tagg taking third.
