Hampton, GA- The Excel Germane Tooling Truck headed south for their 22nd stop at Atlanta Motorspeedway. 10 trucks would take time, with Cal Chandonnet grabbing the pole with a 31.216, followed by 2. C Rogers, 3. DYeager, 4. Jim Melton, 5. Mike Manwill, 6. DCook, 7. Dustin Roser, 8. Ethan Rayner, 9. M.Hemric, 10. Brett Manwill

The 82 laps race would see 4 cautions for 13 laps, 5 drivers swapped the lead 12 times. Caution #1 was on lap 5, Mile Manwill gets loose off of turn 4 and clips Ethan Rayner causing both trucks to make a hard right into the outside wall. Caution #2 was on lap 10, Brett Manwill gets loose and spins in turn 1 and Cal Chandonnet also spins while avoiding the sideways truck of B. Manwill. On lap 14, M.Hemric gets loose and bounces off of Dustin Roser, sending Hemric into the outside wall and Chandonnet would make slight contact with Hemric, causing Cal Chandonnet to spin. On lap 18, Mike Manwill gets loose in turn 4, causing him to check up, Ethan Rayner would have no where to go and runs into the back on of M. Manwill, Dustin Roser would then get into the back of Rayner, causing both of them to do atleast one flip, D Cook also involved. The next 64 laps would be green flag. On the last lap going threw turns 1 and 2 Chandonnet would hold his truck on the low line, as C. Rogers would run the high line. With that pass Cal Chandonnet would make it two in a row. C Rogers would settle for second followed by Jim Melton, D Cook and DYeager would round out the top 5.

Only 1 point separates Jim Melton and David Cook for the Late Season Points. 3 points separates David Cook from Dan Yeager in the overall championship standings, Jim Melton gains 7 more points in the overall championship. The next stop of the series is Texas Motorspeedway for a race under the lights.
