The dream season for Ben Rhodes continues.

The Turner Scott Motorsports rookie led flag-to-flag in Saturday night’s K&N East race at the historic Bowman-Gray Stadium. The 17-year-old won the pole for the race and didn’t look back in the crash-filled event.

Gray Gaulding stayed with Rhodes most of the night, until going for a half-spin with some possible contact with Scott Heckert and going a lap down in the process. Caught up with the No. 34 car Gaulding sent Heckert for a spin, setting up a green-white-checkered finish.

Rhodes and Daniel Suarez were side-by-side, until Rhodes cleared him for good, grabbing his third K&N East win in the last four races.  He also adds to his points lead in the process.
