"Our superspeedway program was what we needed to focus on with half of these first eight races being this type of track, and we achieved that," crew chief Troy Denis said. "Obviously we crashed at Columbia [International Speedway] but we progressively finished better with every race. We knew we had a winning combination."
Law is the second driver to win in his home state this season, with Chris Harley winning at Piggz Cliff Super Speedway in Colorado. Kenny Knox also won in the NFRN Elite Cup Series at Mirage Short Roval. The crash that brought out the final caution left plenty of people frustrated, particularly those involved that didn't want to take blame for the accident.
Noah Kim also expressed frustration with Alonso after a problem on pit lane in which the #37 ran into the side of Kim and stalled out his car.
The first crash of the day was the result of a 5-wide situation between the Callaway Brothers Racing drivers, TJ Smith, Mike Simpson, and Chase Baldwin. A multitude of cars were involved, including top points contenders AJ Jones and Robert Harrison. Baldwin ended up on his roof after being hit in the door by Simpson, but after getting turned over and refiring the engine, the #35 ended up in 23rd place. "I won't lie, the crash damage alone I thought was gonna take us out, but they flipped my car, it cranked, and my crew said I was good to go," Baldwin said. "We're still way behind, but it could've been a lot worse." Comments are closed.
