\r\n\r\nPaul Wolff started on the pole position after Wednesday\u2019s qualifying session in the premiere 4400 class. When the green flag dropped, Wolff launched through the woods and never looked back. Less than halfway through the race, Wolff had already found himself picking his way through lap traffic. Wolff continued on a mission taking the checkered flag just two hours later followed by Brian Crofts and Vaughn Gittin Jr. Bad luck struck Loren Healy again. Healy bent a driveshaft going up a rock hill on the course ending his day.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/MAO-Visions-U4_4800-Winner-1024x683.jpg\")

As Horschel put time on the rest of the field, he somehow began to experience issues. His teammate Brett Harrell unknowingly took over the lead. Harrell and his co-driver stayed consistent, clicking of laps. They were surprised when they learned at the checkered flag they had won the race.
