The field, small, but highly competitive for the double points had only 11 cars actually finish the race. Morris dominated and won the race, securing the track championship. Morris was elated, especially since last week saw him winning the Blue Ridge Region championship as well. Day challenged Morris for the top spot during the entire 100 laps, but was never able to quite catch him. Even though Harris finished the race three laps down, in seventh, Day's second place finish was just four points shy of moving him up into second in the standings.
Day is hopeful about next year, however.
Rodney Cundiff rounded out the top three. Cundiff, who used to race at New River full time had been an off and on visitor to the speedway this season, and this was his highest finish in 2001. The first three finishers battled hard for their spots all the way to the finish line, after many laps of trading each other for the spots. The fans were on their feet as the trucks crossed the line. In first was Tim Arrington, followed by Bo Howell, and then Jason Lawrence for third.
