Welcome to the inagural Florida 400! Here is what went down in the race.
Lap 5: Jamie Simms(4), who was on the pole for the event, was passed in turn 1 by Brendan Irons(87).
Lap 16: Scott Unger gets loose in the back of the pack, and spins into the wall. No caution.
Lap 60: Almost identical incident puts Drew Tabulov into the wall coming out of 4.
Lap 100: After a debris caution, Jim Powers(13) motered by Brendan Irons stealing the lead
Bad day for Taylor Motorsprts. Wick (26)retired with engine troubles, and Fischer retired with electrical problems. These were the only two DNFs.
After green flag pitstops, Matt Zetticci(6) and Matheus Barros(10) battled for the lead.
Around lap 200 during green flag pit stops, Tommy Morello(21) and Zach Dorian(61) collide coming off of turn 2. This brought out the second caution of the day.
There was an epic 3 car battle for the lead for the last 40 laps. Barros came out on top before Powers and Zetticci.
And here are the final results. Fletcher Autosport and Northstar Motorsports both get top 10s for both cars. The 400 mile race ended really close, and was a great opener for season 1.
The series will head up the road to Rockingham and race on the miler track up there next weekend. Can Taylor Motorsports rebound? Can Barros extend a slim points lead? Find out next week!
