CONCORD, N.C. – John Ruggiero Jr. walked away as top dog during the FOX Racing Shox Pro Late Model portion of the Drydene Performance Products World Short Track Championship on Saturday at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

Ruggiero banked $4,000 with a dominant flag-to-flag performance. Redrawing the pole position with Logan Roberson to his outside, Ruggiero declined the Drydene Double Down Challenge to double his winnings from the tail, backing his decision up with an unchallenged 30-lap run.

Halted by several cautions in the early running, Ruggiero survived a handful of restarts to score the victory at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

Following Ruggiero to the stripe was Kyle Bronson, Gray Parton, Clay Haris and Cody Overton in fifth.

In the bonus All-Star Invitational race, Wil Herrington cashed in for the $600 prize. Corey Gordon, a World of Outlaws iRacing winner with Drydene sponsorship, commanded the opening lap before Herrington drove around him and led until the checkered flag.

Matt Long hounded Herrington for the win before ultimately finishing second in the All-Star Invitational.
