Aaron Ridley's #81
Picking up his first win in his new Longhorn chassis, Chatsworth, Ga., racer Aaron Ridley (cousin to Georgia Racing Hall of Famer/NASCAR winner Jody Ridley) led start to finish the 25-lap Late Model feature over Georgetown's Skip Arp and Ringgold's Kevin Gibson.
The win for Ridley's #81 "Tru Temp Heating & Cooling, Eagle Racing Engines" powered race car came with the assistance and guidance of fellow #HornsUp chassis mate "Lil" John Ownbey, who has been on vacation for two weeks after dominating many races and tracks in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Carolina early this season.

In the Crate Late Model feature Jordan Horton of Tazewell, Tn., put the "Goddard Performance / Warrior House Car" in A-1 Towing Victory Lane for the first time this season. Besting a large 25-car field of Crate LM's Horton held off Crossville's Chris Wilson and Chattanooga's Booger Brooks for the victory.
