TULARE, Calif. (May 1) — Bobby Hogge IV of Salinas, Calif., survived repeated challenges from Mike Johnson of Lompoc, Calif., at Thunderbowl Raceway to become the season's first repeat winner on the West Coast Late Model Shootout tour.

Johnson nearly got under Hogge exiting turn four heading for the checkered flag, but he didn't have room to make the pass and Hogge crossed the finish line a few lengths ahead to grab the $2,000 winner's purse. | Video | Slideshow
