Coopersville's Johhny VanDoorn backed up his pole qualifying effort from Friday night and proved when he is not hit with a mechanical failure you better take notice.
VanDoorn Breaks the Bad Luck Streak
Johnny VanDoorn has not had any luck in his CRA Super Series car in 2011. Dropping out due to either mechanical problems or a tire going down with less than 10 laps to go on a couple of occasions VanDoorn broke that streak with a win in the Winchester 100. The weekend started poorly for VanDoorn as he fought a mechanical issue during the practice session on Saturday, and even considered loading up, but his crew solved the mechanical issue and he set fast time for the race. Scott Hantz started on the pole and took off to lead the first few laps until VanDoorn powered past him coming to the flag as they exited the fourth turn to lead the 10th lap. He then set sail with Hantz running with him. VanDoorn hung on through several restarts including a red flag after an accident took out six cars on the 72nd lap.
"This has been rough year. If anything could go wrong it has." VanDoorn stated. "We almost loaded up Sunday, I even cancelled our hotel rooms, but the crew worked so hard they found our issue and we had a really good car today."
