Cottage Grove, OR — (July 18, 2012) — Behind the wheel of the Finley Farms No. 77f, Bixby, Oklahoma’s Shane Stewart took top honors at Cottage Grove Speedway this past Wednesday night.

Drawing the number three starting position in the feature, Stewart utilized lapped traffic early in the feature to capture the lead.

Charging from fourteenth, Travis Rilat chased Stewart across the line for second with Henry VanDam taking the show position. Rick Fauver and Cam Smith held on to round out the top five.

Sixth belonged to Kyle Miller with Reece Goetz, Jesse Whitney, Cody Ridge, and Chadd Noland finishing out the top ten.
