Ross Thompson pulls off what must have been considered a huge upset.
After failing to qualify for the first two races of the year and
crashing out of the third, he leads 41 laps and beats out future truck
series champ Matt Crafton in what would be his only Top 5 in a NASCAR
sanctioned race, much less his only win.

Thompson's winnings - $10,175

Third caution - 04, 34, 70, 71, 88, 98 accident frontstretch

Was also a very impressive run for Matt Crafton to get second. Matt
didn't turn a lap in the car until qualifying because he was in the
hospital overnight with kidney stones. Matt's father Danny Crafton shook
down the car by taking laps in practice instead. The input from his
father, a longtime veteran on the Southwest tour himself, was clearly
valuable as Matt put it P5 in qualifying and then P2 in the race. Danny
had last started a Southwest tour race in 1996.

Crafton didn't originally finish second, though, as the runner-up was
flagged as Rick Carelli. His car failed postrace inspection for having
an unspecified unapproved part and he was dropped to last. That meant
that the Re/Max team had the bottom two finishers at the company's home
race...ouch.
