The season championship was the second of the Ferrum driver's career, with the first coming in 1983.
Radford could see the second title coming. Last week at the speedway, he passed out ink pens emblazoned with a logo promoting his championship. He had ordered them in April.
Radford, who started from the pole, saw his only challenge come from Henry's Todd Philpott, the eventual second-place finisher. The race ran smoothly except for one caution flag on lap 41 when Orville Reedy and Dudley Lawhorn tangled.
Rounding out the feature's top five were Lowe Smith, Steve Lynch and Lawhorn.
Fifteen-year-old Travis Sharp, who just got his learner's permit this week, showed the Mini Stock lineup he already knows a little about driving by capturing his fourth win of the year. Chris Martin, Gary Clifton, James Cox and Lewis Wagner rounded out the top five.
Mike Elkins tacked up his 15th win of the season with a Street Stock victory. Mike Dudley came in second, followed by David Smith, Freddie Goff and Wayne Corprew.
Kelly Kingery came to the speedway riding a five-race win streak in the Pure Stock division, but a disqualification for having wedges in his springs kept him from earning No.6. Jay Perry was the winner as Tom Dooley, Kevin Ransom, Neil Murray and Larry Gilley closed out the top five.
Bobby Davis took the rookie race, trailed by Mark Stoner, Scott Spradlin, Scott Foley and Harland Dalton. Jeff Murphy won the V.I.A.D.A. race while Jimmy Floyd took the any car race after Frank Kelly was disqualified for cutting away body parts.
