**Mason Hannagan Survives Late-Race Drama to Take Charlotte** Mason Hannagan led the final 21 laps and held off Ernie Williams Jr. down the stretch in a feature that saw the leader swap paint multiple times in the closing stages. Williams Jr. had every opportunity to steal it — the pole sitter pressured Hannagan relentlessly through traffic — but Hannagan's lines through the final turns proved decisive when it mattered most. The real story was Greg Keppel's surge from 19th starting position. He threaded through the field with surgical precision, gaining ten spots to finish ninth and claim hard charger honors. His run from deep in the field showed exactly what these cars could do in the right hands on Charlotte's tricky surface. Jp Scheiderer rounded out the top three, with Timothy S Smith and Schyler Brown completing the top five. Williams Jr.'s pole position speed never quite translated to the lead, but he made Hannagan work for every inch of track real estate in those final laps.
