In a three-wide finish that will go down as one of the most memorable in the history of the zMAX CARS Tour, Connor Hall scored a win on home turf at Larry King Law’s Langley Speedway.

Hall crossed the finish line first after 125 laps, locked in a side-by-side-by-side battle with Brent Crews and Carson Kvapil. According to timing and scoring, Hall beat Crews to the line by seven-thousandths of a second, with Kvapil finishing third.

Crews had dominated the first 100 laps of the CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car event, but a caution with 25 laps to go reset the field and brought new challengers to the forefront.

Hall was one of those challengers, taking the lead on lap 111 and holding on for the win through a physical 15-lap fight to the finish.

Brent Crews left pleased with a runner-up finish in his Kevin Harvick, Inc. entry. Crews had been shuffled back to third on the lap 100 restart, but the last lap maneuver allowed him to get back to second and nearly win.

“That was a crazy race,” said Crews. ”I had a great KHI Mobil 1 No. 29 Toyota Camry all night. Led a lot of laps and have a lot to be proud of. I’m happy to be here.”

 

“I get it, it’s hard racing,” added Crews about the late restart. “When it’s 15 to go, you’ve got to go. It’s just hard racing, but if I had stayed out front there and not got shuffled up, I think that’s what we needed.”
