DAVID PETTYJOHN DEBUTS NEW CAR AND WINS IN RUSH CRATE MODELS
The 15-lap RUSH Crate Model feature produced a first time winner this season. Trevor Collins led the first lap after starting in third with pole sitter, Scott Tessman riding in second. Mark Pettyjohn was making his first start in a new car designed by his brother Mark. Pettyjohn drove from tenth to third on lap one then continued to cruise the high groove into the lead one lap later.
Collins held on to second but watched as Pettyjohn drove away into the distance. The race would go caution free from lap one on and Pettyjohn would win by a huge margin over Collins. Tessman drove a smooth race to finish in third with Matt Glanden fourth and Matt Hill fifith. Heats were won by Hill and Glanden.
