pass.By this time, the leaders were
working lapped traffic and Tissott had his work cut out for
him as he had Harris set in his sites. By lap 43, Tisott went
for the lead and was able to get by, sending Harris back to
second.Ricky Bryant was on the move
however, and by lap 63 of the 75 lap event, was on the rear
