Grill Wins, Long Champion!
{nl} Johanna Long, the 17-year-old Pensacola driver, continues to run with the big boys of racing. Make that win against the big boys. She became the first woman to clinch the Blizzard Series Super Late Model points championship Friday night at Five Flags Speedway. Long finished fourth to win the title by just 5 points over Augie Grill, who won his second straight Blizzard race. A year after winning the Pro Late Model championship, she's now the Blizzard Series champion. "It's awesome, a dream come true," Long said as the fans roared their approval. "I never thought I'd be here. My family and my crew have supported me all season. It's just great."
