Parsons Cruises To Open Wheel Nationals Victory

The following excerpt was taken from the official race report for St. Croix Valley Raceway.

After sixteen qualifying races, the Sterling Bank UMSS Traditional Sprint cars were the first to take to the quarter-mile with their record tying 12-car field, paced by Johnny Parsons III and Ryan Olson. Parsons was the early leader but was quickly challenged by Jeff Pellersels, Lucas Milz and Kevin Bradwell. After a caution for the spinning Tom Porter, Parsons stretched his lead on the restart, leaving Rob Caho Jr., Denny Stordahl, Milz, Bradwell and Pellersels in a slicing and dicing free-for-all tussle for second. After a few more late race cautions, no one had an answer for Parsons who cruised to his series best fourth feature win of the summer. Caho edged Bradwell by a whisker at the line for second, with Pellersels and Milz rounding out the top five.
