AMSOIL Super Team member Scott Douglas experienced the highs and lows of racing in the sports premier class on Saturday. Douglas, who started third after gaining the spot in Friday's qualifying, got off to a great start. He pushed his Ford F-150 into 
third and battled for second for much of the race. After the half-way point, Douglas found himself battling for the lead with Johnny Greaves. He briefly took the lead going over a rhythm section. Douglas was on the inside with Greaves taking the high side heading into one of the high banked turns. With Douglas in mid-air, Greaves made a move towards the inside, in turn running into Douglas and sending the AMSOIL driver on his side a flipping him multiple times in a horrendous crash that sent him off the track. Douglas was knocked out of the race and he confronted Greaves as Greaves was heading towards the winners circle. Douglas finished 11th after everything was tabulated.
