Last year's James Shutts Memorial was a battle to the end between Jared John, Trent Smith, Matt Chavis, Mike Seefeldt and Trent Curtis. Seefeldt set quick time, with Chavis collecting the $222 halfway bonus. But, for the fourth consecutive year it was John finding his way to the front with around 15-laps to go, following the inversion which saw Chavis have to restart in 6th.
