Carson Kvapil had been close to a win at South Carolina’s Florence Motor Speedway on multiple occasions, but a poor showing in February’s Icebreaker made it seem like that win was much further away than he had thought. However, those feelings only lasted a month as Kvapil finally scored a win at Florence with the CARS Tour in Saturday’s Aaron’s 125.

The defending CARS Tour champion didn’t have the best qualifying effort, but he saved enough tire to slowly and methodically work his way to the front of the field before the conclusion. Kvapil had enough tire left to out muscle Brenden Queen on a late-race restart to take the checkered flag.

Winning Quote From Florence Motor Speedway

"It's all pretty cool because I knew we had a pretty good lead on everybody else. I kind of figured that me and (Brenden Queen) were the class of the field, at least at that point of the race. I was trying to get under him. I feel like I hit him ten times in the center of the corner, but I could never get him to move up the hill. It was fixing to be a really good race there with me and him, but the caution stopped us from being able to do that so we just had to finish it with the restart." -  Carson Kvapil
