Parsons took the checkered flag in the Crate Modified main event in 2017, 2019 and 2020, and Holcombe has now tied him with wins in 2021, 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Crate car \u2014 it sits here all year; we run a few races a year with this Crate car and it\u2019s just always good to us,\u201d Holcombe said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to come to Charlotte and it\u2019s nice to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similar to his previous wins, Holcombe grabbed the lead early and led the entire distance, unchallenged by his competitors, and Saturday night was another installment of his dominance.<\/p>\n<p>From the pole, Holcombe secured the lead on the opening lap and crossed the finish line 1.2 seconds over runner-up Stephen Pedulla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all about Qualifying good; you\u2019ve got to start up front, and you need a lot of luck,\u201d Holcombe said. \u201cIt worked out for us. We drew the [#1 redraw pill], and anytime you can start out front against any of these guys and you haven\u2019t got to try and pass the cars, it\u2019s just a win in the books right there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pedulla, of Kannapolis, NC, recorded his best career finish in the main event with a runner-up, while 2018 Crate Modified main event winner Jesse Rockett drove from eighth on the starting grid up to finish third.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABBREVIATED RESULTS<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myracepass.com\/events\/504096\/media-results\">view full results<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Feature (15 Laps): 1. 8A-Austin Holcombe[1]; 2. 31G-Stephen Pedulla[4]; 3. 7-Jesse Rockett[8]; 4. 14-Jeff Robinson[6]; 5. 32K-Garrett Killman[3]; 6. 6-Ryan Ayers[11]; 7. 5-Ethan Wilson[5]; 8. 2K2-Taylor Kuehl[21]; 9. 44P-Jeff Parsons[12]; 10. 1-Grayson Keaton[10]; 11. 15-Morgan Widener[17]; 12. 45-Cambridge Gann[7]; 13. 92-Tyler Love[25]; 14. 04-Cole Wagoner[16]; 15. 7G-Gary Jarrett[14]; 16. 29-Brandon Bentley[19]; 17. 16W-Dustin Watkins[24]; 18. 03-Oliver Gentry[20]; 19. 73-Chris Nickerson[22]; 20. 88-Jay Seward[9]; 21. 50-Ronnie Covey[26]; 22. 71K-Dennis Kirk[28]; 23. 05-Travis Covey[27]; 24. 2J-Jake Barneycastle[15]; 25. 50B-Justin Blevins[23]; 26. 121-Chase Cardwell[13]; 27. 21A-Adam Favors[2]; 28. 25-Robert Poole[18]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Holcombe has made World Short Track Championship history in the Hoosier Racing Tire Mid-East Crate Modified division with his third win in the last four years Saturday night at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.
