"It's really important for us to go out and win again," crew chief Troy Denis said. "We don't want to slow down or take it easy. Every week we want to go out and win the race. The benefit may only last the first round in the playoffs, but better to maintain momentum than try to re-build it."
Law has now led 22 straight laps, and he'll see if he can continue that streak with another road course next race at Mirage II. His closest competitor was Hierjel Arvin Alonso, who finished runner-up and had his closest challenge coming off of pit lane when he was unable to complete the pass off of turn 1. "I think for me, a runner-up finish is good," Alonso said. "We should have won that race if we didn't make a mistake (on pit lane)." The only major issue in the race was in the first corner, when Jack Freeman tried to overtake the field on the inside and made contact with Craig Martin, clipped by 19carfan, who came across the track to hit and spin Ray Chapman. Points contender Robert Harrison swung wide into the gravel trap and lost spots he was not able to recover. Martin also had to make a pit stop on the final lap of the race, costing several spots. "Just a really bad break for us," Martin said. "A couple of races ago I thought we could run up front. Now it looks like we're in a must-win situation." Law's second victory opened up another playoff spot on points, which Noah Kim claims while Conor Mays and Kenny Knox hold the first two spots. Comments are closed.
