Driving for the same team as he did in the NASCAR Truck series that
year, Billy Bigley wins his first start of the 2001 ARCA season. This
may have been his ARCA debut.

Bigley was spun by Frank Kimmel earlier in the race, but battled back
and passed Rick Carelli on the last turn of the last lap when Carelli
had to avoid a car sitting sideways in the middle of the track.

This wasn't Bigley's ARCA debut BUT it was his first start in more than
eight years, dating back Atlanta in 1992. His victory here turned out to
be both his first top-15 in ARCA, his only top-5, and the only ARCA race
he ever led.

Kevin Belmont records his first top-10 finish.

This race was a great battle between Billy Bigley, Jr. and polesitter
Rick Carelli. Bigley did the spin and win after Frank Kimmel knocked him
for loop trying to get a lap back but Bigley didn't hit anything and
rallied back to win with a dramatic last lap, last corner pass on
Carelli. Carelli had to woe up to avoid Cavin Councilor's car after he
wrecked in Turn 4 on the last lap and Bidley took advantage to sneak by
on the inside and beat him to the line.

Kimmel lost his lap after he almost spun out after getting drilled by
Larry Hollenbeck. He kept it off the wall but the repairs to the #46
Chevrolet in the pits still cost him a lap. After getting back on the
lead lap by spinning Bigley he would come back to finish third.

Tim Steele roared out front on the opening lap and led the first 10 laps
of the race but brake issues knocked the #16 Ford from contention early
in this one.

Billy Venturini actually ran Frank Kimmel's back-up car. I don't know if
it was a result of an accident in practice however.
