Sprague would start lapping drivers by the 50th lap, which allowed for Teague to quickly work his way into the Top 5, before taking the lead on the 70th lap. Teague would then continue to show the power of his Famous Hudson Hornet and would go on to be unchallenged for the remaining laps, easily going on to score his 4th win of 1951.
