Grala recovered with the few laps remaining to finish 14th.
In his most recent with Young’s Motorsports at Atlanta, Little earned a very respectable 15th place finish after starting deep in the field at the newly repaved 1.5-mile speedway that raced like a mini-Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway or Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
