After an action-packed 50 laps at Outlaw Speedway, Cory Costa took home his first career Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco victory.

Corning, N.Y., resident Costa becomes the 39th different winner in STSS history after a final-lap pass of Alex Payne to take home the win and a trip to Bicknell Racing Products Victory Lane.

Despite leading a handful of laps in the epic battle of two underdogs, Costa left the Dave Machuga Memorial $5,278.78 richer at the conclusion of the 50-lap affair.

Following a caution with two laps to go, it appeared as though Alex Payne was going to drive away with the victory. That was until Payne slipped over the turn-two embankment, allowing Costa to slide by and lead the final half-lap for the upset win.

A heartbroken Payne settled for the runner-up spot. Alan Johnson completed the top-three finishers. St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada’s Mat Williamson snagged fourth aboard the Behrent’s Performance Warehouse No. 3 and Danny Johnson rounded out the top five from his 14th starting position in the Tim Gibson-fielded No. 27J.
