Zach Bealer captured a thrilling victory at the BELFOR Property Restoration East Coast Indoor Dirt Nationals at CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton, NJ, earning $2,250 for his strategic bottom-lane performance.

Starting fifth in the 25-lap feature, Bealer quickly moved to third position and patiently waited for his opportunity. After race leader Briggs Danner's chain broke on lap 13, Bealer found himself challenging Kenny Miller III for the lead.

With five laps remaining, Bealer executed his winning move by hugging the bottom lane through turns three and four. After running side-by-side with Miller, he secured the lead with two laps to go. Luke Thomas and Billy Pauch Jr. passed Miller in the closing laps but couldn't catch Bealer, who held on for the victory.

Earlier in the day, Haelee Nardelli (9.843 seconds) and Kenny Miller III (10.202 seconds) set the pace in qualifying. The four A-Main qualifiers were won by Anthony Perrego, Billy Pauch Jr., Lukas Kostic, and Pat Bealer, while Matt Warner and Alex Bright secured the B-Mains.
