An impressive run for Burks, who has a combined six victories to his name in 2019, the Kansas ace had to best an impressive field of 41 drivers, which began promptly with an eighth to first run in the night’s opening heat race.

Rolling to the A-Feature sixth, Burks chased as the field worked into traffic. Choosing to roll the No. 11w around the bottom following a late-race caution was the correct choice as Burks was able to maneuver to the point and land the night’s $5,000 payday in the G.W. Elkins Memorial. New Mexico’s Colt Treharn was second with Justin Zimmerman picking up two spots to finish third. Zach Gossett had earned the pole but faded to finish fourth with Jason Howell making a run from 10th to finish fifth.
Following in Howell’s tire tracks from 11th, Chad Koch crossed sixth with Jarrod Jennings doing much of the same from 13th. Justin Melton from 15th grabbed eighth. The night’s Hard Charger after gridding the field 17th was Wichita Falls shoe, Mason Smith who finished ninth with Oklahoma’s Joe Wood, Jr. completing the top ten.
