It came down to the last lap
when Luker was able get the
lead. "The last three or four laps
I could hear him coming around
the outside, but I thought maybe
I was quick enough on the
inside," said Gillim. "But he was
making that outside work and he
was able to get by me on the last
lap. Over the jump I was a little
bit quicker. I closed back in on
him and then through the right-
hander, he slowed up quite a bit
and I knew that was my only shot
for us. I took it and ran a little bit
wide. I thought he was going to
come underneath me, I saw his
shadow there. He ran an amaz-
ing race, it's just amazing to be
on top."
