HAMPTON — After eight rounds of thrilling action, drivers in six divisions were crowned as 2022 Thursday Thunder champions at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The Outlaws division came into championship night with the tightest battle at the top of the standings. Georgia driver Bryce Sanders began the night with a 13 point lead on the division and Neal Dulin (Harrisburg, N.C.) right behind him. Dulin started the race in fourth position and remained at the front of the pack for the entirety of the race. However, Sanders was even more impressive, leading a handful of laps and earning a second place result. Ultimately this was enough for Sanders to stay atop the standings, and become the division champion. Kyle Bacon (Buchanan, Ga.) made a slick pass for the lead early in the race and held on to win for the second time.
