ELMA, Wash. (June 25) — Polesitter Joey Tanner of Portland, Ore., held off fellow front-row starter Billy Workman Jr. of Canby, Ore., Saturday at Grays Harbor Raceway for a 40-lap DAA Extreme Dirt Car Series victory. He earned $1,000 for the Crate Late Model victory. | Slideshow

At the outset, Workman edged ahead down the backstretch on the first lap, but Tanner nosed back out front to lead the first lap. A second-lap caution appeared for Doug Trout's spin, and Mike Kelley stopped on the backstretch at the same time.

That was the only caution as Tanner led Workman throughout the race. Workman summoned a last-lap challenge on the outside coming to the checkered flag but it fell short.

Jason Wines of Lebanon, Ore., was third followed by Gret Walters of Banks, Ore., and Jerry Schram of Vancouver, Wash.

Notes: Tanner is sponsored by Budweiser and Jody’s Bar & Grill. ... Nine drivers finished on the lead lap. ... Mike Kelley was the only driver who failed to finish; he completed five laps. ... Russel Schultz missed time trials while his team solved an issue with a stuck throttle. ... The series returns to action July 9 at Willamette Speedway in Lebanon, Ore.
