Skyway Paige and driver LeWayne Miller continued their winning ways in the opening division after they went gate-to-wire to score in 1:56. Using a :27.2 closing kick, Skyway Paige trotted home strongly to hold off Truly Unbelievable and Kyle Husted and the heavily favored Ponda Title and Kyle Wilfong. Sent off as the betting public’s second choice, Skyway Paige returned $5.00 for the victory.
