BULLS GAP -- Arguably the best driver to ever strap in a dirt late model, having won several national touring series championships and all the crown jewel events the sport has to offer, winning races at Volunteer Speedway never gets old to Mooresburg's Scott Bloomquist.

Saturday night he added yet another victory to his legendary career totals by taking the checkers in the Advance Auto Parts Thunder Series "Thunder at The Gap 50." Bloomquist led flag-to-flag en route to the $4,000 victory.

With 29 competitors signing-in for time trials, Bloomquist toured the high-banked track at 12.143-seconds to set fast-time earning the pole, with fellow Bloomquist Race Cars chauffeur Shanon Buckingham second-fastest at 12.201.

With the top-12 drivers from qualifying locked into two Sunoco dashes to determine their starting positions, Vic "The Thrill" Hill won the first dash (which determined starting spots 1-6) with John Gill winning the second (which determined starting spots 7-12) six-lap event. Two B-mains were won by Jeff Maupin and Tommy Kerr.

Bloomquist cruised to victory over Rick Rogers, Mike Smith, John Gill and Billy Ogle Jr.

Completing the top 10 finishers were Kerr, Douglas, Buckingham (up from the rear following an early-race spin), White and Weeks. Weeks earned the "Hard Charger" award by advancing from his 24th starting spot to a 10th-place finish.

Out front in the lead was the wrong place to be in the 25-lap Crate Late Model feature, unless your name happened to be Brad Hall of Knoxville. Jensen Ford set fast-time at 13.654-seconds (105.460 mph) to earn the pole position, with Hall timing-in second quickest to nail down the outside front row starting berth.

Ford appeared headed to his second consecutive victory after taking the white flag with a five car-length advantage over Hall. But danger loomed ahead as Ford tangled with the lapped car of Hugh "Wishbone" Scalf in turn two. Hall cruised past the spinning Ford and beat Jones, Chandler, Glass and Jerry Broyles back to the checkered flag.

With the Hobby Stock lineup determined by the current point standings, rivals Dustin Shaver (one feature win) and Mike Hodges (two feature wins), both from Morristown, led the 16-car field to green from the front row. Hodges jumped into the lead and had a rearview mirror full of Shaver all the way to the checkered flag, as he recorded his third feature win of the season. Finishing third through fifth, respectively, were Dale Reed, Chuck Johnson and Ray Jarnigan.

Relegated to the sixth-starting position in the Mini Stock feature due to having won three consecutive races, Cosby's Joey Allen worked his way past Shawn Henry for the lead on lap 17, three circuits from the checkers, and sprinted to his fourth straight victory. Chasing Allen across the stripe were Toby Jones, Henry, Stevie Wykle and Ernie Stubblefield.

Jerry Broyles of Jonesborough passed Wayne James for the lead on the sixth circuit of the 15-lap IMCA Open Wheel Modified feature, and once out front it was all clear sailing for Broyles as he recorded his second win of the season with James coming home in the runner-up position. Finishing third through fifth, respectively, were Stanley Donahoo, Jimmy Dalton and Jerry Fobare.
