Ironically, her car owner was Shannon McQueen, who became the first with her 2007 victory at Madera, Calif. Decker and her Simpson/K & N Spike/Esslinger Ford were trailed at the checkered flag by Robby Josett, Cole Carter and teammates Connor Kassik and David Prickett. Carter assumes the series point lead going into a May 5 race at Madera Speedway.
