Kilgore quickly made his way to third, and started his race long battle with Cory Cochart.
Kilgore and Cochart went to battle, by themselves, and then through lapped traffic.
Kilgore eventually made his way past Cochart, and with two laps to go, made his move on
Vlies. The white flag flew, and Kilgore shot to the inside of Vlies in turn one; they came
into turn three dead even. Coming out of turn four Kilgore edged Vlies for his seventh

Von Eytcheson was the man to beat in the Street Stock Feature. Eytcheson, starting from
the pole position, was able to keep the lead throughout the race, but not without a couple
of challenges. First Jerry Kope went to the outside, and was up to his front wheel when a
caution flag flew. Etycheson seemed to get faster after the caution. The next, and final
challenge, came with ten laps to go. Aaron Thornton made his way to second, and started to
catch Etycheson. Thornton was able to get to the back bumper but not any farther.
Etycheson led through a series of cautions, and went on to win his second Street Stock
Slam in a row.
In 2004, Eytcheson led all 30 laps and picked up$1,200; this year he again led all 30
laps, and picked up $1,400 for his efforts. “I think that the luck of the draw really
helped with this victory. I knew Thornton would be on my back bumper throughout the race.
It’s nice to win $2,600 in the past two years at the slam.” Von Eytcheson after
winning two consecutive Street Stock Slams.
