After 371 laps Jeff Cauffman and Barry Jenkins exited the final corner side by side and were racing to the checkered flag when the two made contact sending Jenkins into the wall and upside down. Cauffman picked up the thrilling victory over Jenkins, Terry Ferrell, Bob Miller and Ryan Rozell. Dave Miller led the second half of the top ten over Todd Metz Sr., Shane Miller, Bill Null and Brian Machiele. Shane Miller’s eighth place finish was good enough to secure him the 2014 Kalamazoo Speedway Four Cylinder Enduro Series Championship.
Although the on-track action for 2014 is now complete there is still one event left on the schedule, the 2014 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Kalamazoo Speedway Awards Ceremony.
