One of the biggest 360 Sprint Car races of the year, Trophy Cup 31 presented by Abreu Vineyards, culminated with Saturday's 50-lap, $10,000-to-win feature with $30,000 on the line for the overall event points champion at California’s Stone Chevrolet-Buick-GMC Thunderbowl Raceway.

Rallying around Spencer Bayston with two laps remaining in a feature where two Tyler Thompson and Levi Hillier crashed out of the lead, Tanner Holmes commanded 20 of 50 circuits to capture the Trophy Cup finale. With his 24th-to-eighth drive, Joel Myers Jr. secured the overall event points title.

The tricky Tulare cushion nipped early pacesetter Thompson, who hopped the curb entering Turn 1 while leading on Lap 9, and 10th-running Anthony Macri, who, too, hopped the curb in Turns 1 and 2 following the ensuing restart on Lap 10. Hillier also miscalculated a run to the top side as he crashed into the Turn 4 wall battling Holmes for the lead on Lap 26.

Holmes's night nearly went awry, too, when the Oregon driver bicycled off the cushion on the Lap 10 restart, falling back from second to sixth before he worked his way back forward and later inherited the lead on Lap 28. 

The lead battle intensified in lapped traffic when Bayston ran down and passed Holmes on Lap 46 of 50. Holmes, who changed his line off the top side through Turns 1 and 2, generated enough of a run off the second corner on Lap 48 to slide Bayston entering Turn 3 to regain the top spot.
