Cameron Austin of Lakeport inherited the lead when race leader Ian Elliott of Lakeport hit fluid on the track in turn four and spun with only 3 laps to go in the Bob Lehman Classic at Stockton 99 Speedway Saturday night.

Because of the anticipated lengthy clean up, race officials yellow-checked the event and declared Austin the winner.

Mosher won the $100 dash for cash over DeRosier, Jordan Smith and Jason Philpot. Mosher also received $125 for the longest tow.

Rick Avila was given $125 for the hard luck award.

The Scribner jugs went home with Winters and Philpot. DeRosier, Keith Bloom and Orion Mosher received gift certificates from Frank’s Radios.
