Justin Allgaier's first ARCA win would prove to be his only one on dirt.

Norm Benning's seventh-place run was his only top-10 of the season.

I've posted something like this before regarding Harmon & Carl Long on
some old Southeast Series race before, but even the 'rolling chicanes'
of the top series were able to put up good runs in smaller series.
Harmon was pretty good in the regional late model ranks but never pulled
off a SES win.

Norm was pretty good at hanging around in ARCA races and picked up
several top 5s and top 10s by managing to stay on the lead lap and
avoiding carnage. In the early 2000s, when Frank Kimmel was at his peak
and Cup teams were starting to put full-on Cup cars in the series for
drivers like Kyle Busch & Ryan Newman, finishing on the lead lap could
almost be more of an achievement than a top 10 at select races.
Definitely were a few top-10 DNFs in there on occasion as well!

Bob Strait came out of retirement to run this race and he almost pulled
off a victory. Strait was leading on the last lap when hometown hero
Justin Allgaier got inside him in Turn 3 and pulled off the pass for the
win, leading only the money lap as he scored his breakthrough victory to
the cheers of the crowd. Strait tried to pass Allgaier back but got
loose off Turn 4 allowing Frank Kimmel and Mark Gibson to sneak by and
take the other podium positions while he fell to third.

Allgaier's first career win came in his 37th ARCA start. Making this win
more impressive was that the engine on his #16 Pontiac had an audible
miss to it all day but he still pulled off the victory. Allgaier was the
first local driver ever to win a national-level race here on the
Springfield oval.

The day was a big one for Kimmel as he and Bobby Gerhart came in tied
for the ARCA points lead. Gerhart's early retirement with a blown engine
and Kimmel's runner-up performance allowed Frank to shoot out into a big
lead in the points standings...and he'd go on to win the ARCA title.

A.J. Fike had a great run in this one come apart at the end. He led a
nice chunk of the race and was second behind Strait in the closing laps
when the #12 Ford ran out of gas under caution. He'd get rolling again
but placed 18th, one lap down.
