The 14-year-old third generation rookie led from start to finish in a caution free event and took home a popular victory over Taylor Sorrow and Luke Sorrow.
Other winners on the night were Eddie Ray in the Renegades, Ashley Granata in the Pure Stocks, Ricky Stephens in the Super Stocks and Dannon Esco in the Four-Cylinder division.
Howard and Taylor Sorrow made up the front row for the limited late model 75-lap main. Howard took the lead and opened up an advantage of over two seconds over the rest of the field in the first 12 laps.
Taylor Sorrow stayed ahead of little brother-in-law Luke Sorrow for second, while Tasha Kummer made some early moves to run fourth at the twenty lap mark and Phillip Peters held fifth.
This race went green to checkered, and Howard’s lead kept increasing. The third generation racer from Simpsonville, South Carolina drove a flawless race and ended up sitting in Call Double Aught Bryan Ramey victory lane for his first win ever. Taylor Sorrow, Luke Sorrow, Kummer and Peters rounded out the top five.
“The car was getting tight at the end,” the happy winner said. “I just kept seeing more lapped cars and I got scared because I was afraid Luke or whoever was behind me was going to catch me. This is just awesome! I can’t thank my family, Eubanks Oil, Shell, Century Concrete, Southern Utilities and my whole team enough. They are the reason why I’m here. I don’t even know what to say right now.”
