beat Stanbrough, Tracy Hines, Dave Darland and Kevin Thomas Jr. At Port Royal
he trailed Landon Simon for 18 laps before leading the final 12 to beat Chase
Stockon, Simon, Hines and Stanbrough. In Sunday’s Susquehanna finale, he
tracked down Shane Cottle on lap 14 and led to the checkered flag ahead of
Stanbrough, Stockon, Darland and Cottle.
The results left Ballou holding a 24-point lead over Stockon in the new standings,
followed by Darland, 45 points behind.
Trailing Ballou in the final Eastern Storm standings were Stanbrough and Stockon.
ProSource fast qualifying awards were taken by Darland, Cottle and Ballou.
