**James Tiernan Storms From Ninth to Win After Consolation Masterclass** James Tiernan grabbed the pole in qualifying, then took the scenic route to victory lane. After dropping into the consolation race, he absolutely demolished the field with an eight-position charge to win and punch his ticket to the feature. Come the main event, Tiernan did it again—clawing his way from ninth on the grid to the point by the checkered flag. Petteri Kotovaara led the most laps out front and had every chance to win it, but Tiernan's relentless pressure in the closing stages proved too much. This was pure aggression and racecraft: Tiernan earned his way to the front twice in one night at Charlotte's dirt oval.
