BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (Oct. 8) — Bobby Hogge IV of Salinas, Calif., overtook Mike Johnson of Lompoc, Calif., late in the 30-lapper at Bakersfield Speedway to win the opening night feature of the 25th annual Budweiser Nationals.

Hogge earned $2,000 for the victory in the West Coast Late Model Shootout event at the third-mile oval in Bakersfield's big weekend of racing. | Slideshow

Trevor Glaser of Tangent, Ore., finished second with hometown driver Robert Sanders in third. Steve Drake of San Luis Obispo, Calif., and Clay Daly of Watsonville, Calif., rounded out the top five.
