Brandon Sutherland of Kingsport, Tenn. won the Sport Compact Feature event. Semi Mod 4 driver Billy Goodman found himself in the same situation as Michael Eller Saturday night. With consistent finishes throughout the season,he was out to a commanding point lead before the race even started. He ended up 3rd in his Feature behind Teddy Richardson and Jeff Eastridge,but it didn’t matter.He had the points title wrapped up a couple of races prior.

In the Extreme Sport Compact division, Scott Kerley made the move from running the Asphalt track in Kingsport in 2016 to making Mountain View Speedway his home in 2017. By doing so he made his 1st year on the dirt a good one as he claimed his 1st points title in the Extreme Sport Compact division.
