The CRA Super Series will return to action at Winchester Speedway with the Manning Service 100 on Sunday afternoon. Veteran racer Jeff Lane had been victorious at Winchester Speedway in a Modified, an Outlaw Late Model and a Street Stock, but had not found victory lane with the CRA Super Series at Winchester Speedway until last season’s Manning Service 100. Lane took full advantage of his pole starting position, bolting to the early lead over outside pole sitter JR Roahrig. Lane never looked back in leading all 100 laps of the Manning Service 100. Chris Gabehart would mount a charge in the middle of the race, but used up his tires early and had to fight off the hard-charging Brian Rievley to get second. Rievley would get third followed by Zach Taylor in fourth with Tommy St. John in fifth.
