Blacks Tire 200

In a remarkable display of race craft, Tyler Ankrum charged from 16th on the starting grid to win the Blacks Tire 200 at Rockingham Speedway — a gain of 15 positions that showcased both driver talent and team strategy. The No. 18 led 29 laps on the day and scored 57.9 fantasy points. The margin of victory was 6.657.

Jake Garcia (No. 13) finished second, while Daniel Hemric (No. 19) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Layne Riggs captured Stage 1 and Layne Riggs won Stage 2. The race featured 11 lead changes among 9 drivers — Corey Heim led a race-high 52 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. Short-track racing at its finest — fenders rubbing, tempers flaring, and the cream rising to the top over the final run.

The biggest mover of the race was Rajah Caruth (No. 71), who charged from 21st to 4th — a gain of 17 positions that made the No. 71 one of the top fantasy value plays. Spencer Boyd also impressed, climbing from 31st to 15th.

The race wasn't without drama — 6 drivers failed to finish. Luke Fenhaus (started 12th) was collected in engine after completing 136 laps, and Tanner Gray (started 10th) was collected in an accident after completing 117 laps. From a fantasy perspective, Tyler Ankrum led all scorers with 57.9 points, followed by Jake Garcia (56.3) and Kaden Honeycutt (49.2).
