After earning pole position and leading the first 51 laps in Saturday’s race at Tri-County Speedway (Granite Falls, North Carolina), Ballos and his competitors were forced into a restart. Sitting in third with approximately 24 laps to go, Ballos started to make his way to the front. With less than 10 laps to go, after an impressive move, he was back in the lead — a lead he would never relinquish en route to his first win of the season.
