NEWTON, NC :: Fans witnessed a night of fast-paced action Saturday night and when Dillon Bassett (No. 44) drove to Victory Lane in the seventh round of the Paramount KIA Big-10 Chase for the Championship. Taylor Stricklin (No. 7 – Gold King Limited Late Model), Kevin Townsend (No. 10 – Street Stock), Chase Pollard (No. 98 – 4-Cyliders) and Charlie Neil (No. 2 – WrenchRags Renegades) also earned the chance to celebrate in Victory Lane and enjoy some Fireworks during Hendrick Honda Hickory/Frye Regional Breast Cancer Awareness Night at the Races.

The No. 9 of William Byron would take the pole for Round 7 of the Paramount Kia “Big 10” Chase for the Championship. The caution flag was displayed early when the No. 7 of Ashley Huffman had  an engine problem on lap three and ended his night. Racing resumed with multiple battles throughout the 23 car field. As the race neared the midpoint, it was a three-car battle for the lead between the No. 44 of Dillon Bassett, No. 00 of Shane Lee and the No. 8 of David Garbo Jr. while a five car battle for fourth was closing in, lead by the No. 45 of Dalton Sargeant, with the No. 23 of Peyton Ryan, the No. 88 of Josh Berry, the No. 36 of Anthony Anders and the pole sitter of Byron in their tracks. Bassett went on to pick up the win and left Anders, Lee, Berry and Garbo Jr. to finish second through fifth respectively.

Casey Pierce (No. 18) earned the pole position for the Gold King Limited Late Model event, but surrendered the top spot to the No. 51 of Jeremy Pelfrey on the first lap, leaving Pierce to battle for second with the No. 7 of Taylor Stricklin. As the race progressed, Stricklin used multiple caution periods to propel himself to the front of the pack, taking over the lead and picking up the win. Pelfrey finished in the second position, while the No. 1 of Trent Barnes, No. 77 of Travis Byrd and Pierce rounded out the top five.
