Spencer Shines in Hall of Fame Classic Finale
Mike Spencer rebounded from a wild ride one night earlier to finish off Canyon Speedway Park’s 15th Annual Sands Chevrolet Hall of Fame Classic with a drive to victory lane in Saturday night’s 30-lap USAC/CRA Sprint Car main event.
While Spencer reclaimed the USAC/CRA Sprint Car points lead with his second triumph of the season, Chris McCurdy, Jr., put a stop to the Matt Martinez run of domination in Pure Stock action with Dustin Cormany taking Micro Sprint honors.
Pelkey led the USAC/CRA Sprint Car feature in the early rounds before Friday night winner Damion Gardner took command on the eighth round as Spencer worked toward the front in the familiar Chaffin-owned No. 50 Sprint Car from the seventh starting position.
Spencer ultimately wrestled the lead away from USAC Southwest Sprint Car points leader R.J. Johnson in the final handful of laps to snare the victory. Johnson settled for runner-up honors with Brody Roa, Joshua Hodges and Mike Martin rounding out the top five.
In Arizona Differential Pure Stock action, Chris McCurdy, Jr., denied Matt Martinez a fourth consecutive victory by charging from 11th to capture his fifth win of the year. Martinez settled for second with David Jones, Steve Sussex and Jeff Carter in the top five.
Dustin Cormany took full advantage of the pole starting position by racing to his first Micro Sprint feature win of the year at CSP ahead of Friday night winner Kyle Huttenhow, Cody Batten, Ryan Hennessey and Kenny Hilton.
Action resumes at Canyon Speedway Park with the 27th Annual Desert Classic on November 6-7 featuring IMCA Modifieds along with IMCA Sport Modifieds, Arizona Differential Pure Stocks, Scottsdale Muffler & Automotive Renegades and Mini Stocks.
