VanDoorn Hangs on to Win
Scott Hantz fell back, caught up when there was a caution, and then tried to slide past John VanDoorn on the last lap for an exciting finish of the CRA Super Series, McGunegill Engine Performance 100. VanDoorn and TJ Reaid jumped out to an early lead, and stretched it up to a half lap with Reaid in front and VanDoorn tight on his tail. Vandoorn found an opening, powered by and took off building a lead of almost a hlaf a lap on everyone and nearly 3/4 a lap on the third place car of Hantz. On the 68th lap after 67 green flag laps, a car brushed the wall causing only the second caution of the race. While Hantz and Reaid fought for second VanDoorn again took off before the other cars began to catch him. Reaid was closing quickly with only seven laps to go when his engine gave out and brought out a caution flag. VanDoorn took off, leading Hantz. Hantz came back, looked under, could not make it happen and waited. VanDoorn fought an ill handling car to the end, with Hantz pulling down to finish less than a fender behind or .030 seconds.
"That was fun" VanDoorn stated. "We broke a hub with 30 to go, and I was just waiting on it to break all the wa. but it held on. Racing beside Scott Hantz, what a great way to run, outside of Scott there are not many people I trust running beside me at over 120 mph. "
