Montgomery, Alabama (August 17, 2026) — Two heavyweights in deep south Crown Stock competition duked it out on Saturday night, with Hometown Automotive Solutions Crown Stocks points leader Austin Reeves emerging victorious.

Like Timothy Watson in the Outlaw feature, Reeves had to start the Crown Stock feature event from sixth place and work his way through the field. It didn’t take very long for Reeves to take the lead though, as he led 23 of the 25 laps en route to victory. Reeves had the added pressure of fending off Adam Salter, who has proven to be one of the winningest drivers in Crown Vic competition over the last few years.

Regardless of the looming presence of Salter in Reeves’s mirror, he returned to victory lane for the fourth time this season at Montgomery Motor Speedway.

“Any time you have one of those BMR guys behind you, it’s gonna be a race,” said Reeves in victory lane. “He rode my bumper pretty hard and I really had to hustle. Lap traffic had me sweating bullets.”

With Reeves finishing at the top with Salter in second, Zachary Abdelwahed rounded out the podium in third. Justin Cruise and Spencer Bragg completed the top five in fourth and fifth respectively.
