Teague Tames The Mountain
Saturday night 2015 UCRA Champion Jake Teague of Petros, Tenn., surived a last-lap tangle with a chargin Riley Hickman, who was attempting to overtake Teague making a high-side charge, on the final lap. The two would collide off of turn four heading to the checkered flag, with Hickman taking the brunt of the collision faltering to fourth off the concrete wall. The victory was Teague's second UCRA victory of the season, who led every lap of the event despite the wild finish. Cory Hedgecock dropped out of the event after contact with the turn-three wall while running third on lap 33. The event was slowed by caution flags on laps 2, 32 and 33. Teague's Longhorn Chassis is sponsored by C&C Trucking and Wade's Construction and powered by Eagle Racing Engines. Works would finish 3rd runner up William Thomas. John Ownbey rounded out the Top 5 at Smoky Mountain's 2016 season finale. Rusty Ballenger finished his 2016 Championship season with a 13th and 24 finish earning the lions share of the $15,000 points championship.
