The night started inside the top five for Blake Baggett as he got the jump out of gate to lead the field into the first turn. After sliding back a few spots , he soon found himself deep in a battle for position as he worked his way to the front. Keeping the pressure on, Blake finished 5th to transfer to the main. The Palmetto Motorsports supported rider timed the gate perfectly in the main, rounding the first turn inside the top five. Blake didn’t waste any time working his way to the front, as he would stalk Cooper Webb for several laps before making the pass into second place. He kept his composure on the slick Nashville track and took the checkered flag in 2ndplace, earning his fifth podium of the season. 

“I felt good tonight,” said Baggett. “The track was tough tonight and my starts helped me to be up front. I felt we could have battled for the win tonight, just ran out of time. We are still in this and looking forward to Denver next week and grabbing that second win.”
