JUNCTION CITY, Ky. (June 24) — Dustin Linville of Bryantsville, Ky., earned $2,500 Friday at Ponderosa Speedway for a victory in the 12th annual Hugh “Junebug” Rowland Memorial.

Justin Rattliff led at the outset of the 40-lap unsanctioned event with Greg Johnson giving chase closely for the first 15 laps, slowed by five cautions.

A lap-16 restart gave Linville the chance to take second from Johnson, and another yellow on lap 17 slowed the action. During the caution period, Rattliff pulled to the pits, handing the lead to the eighth-starting Linville.

Linville led the rest of the way in a race slowed by nine cautions, pulling away after the final yellow on lap 27. Johnson finished second while 10th-starting Johnny Wheeler was third. Victor Lee, who pitted with a flat tire on the 15th lap, rallied for fourth and 19th-starting David Webb ran as high as third before settling for fifth.

Notes: Linville's Jesse Puckett-owned Rayburn Race Car is sponsored by Puckett Automotive and powered by a Roush Yates engine. ... Ponderosa was returning to action after a five-week layoff. ... The track resumes regular Friday night action beginning July 1.
