BRISTOL, Tenn. — For the second race in a row, a dramatic finish ended an ASA Late Model Series event.
Jacob Goede led only one lap — the last one — of the 200-lap event Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Sean Murphy was within site of his first ASA triumph when his car slammed the wall while leading on the final lap.
Goede avoided the wreckage and crossed the finish line just ahead of Robbie Pyle to claim the victory on the high-banked .533-mile concrete oval.
Peter Cozzolino finished third, while Murphy limped under the checkered flag fourth. Colt James was fifth.
