Earnhardt Racing / Monster Pipe / RATH Racing’s Michael Houghton had a great race in the Pro-Am main event, from the start, all the way to the finish line. Houghton started off by pulling a huge holeshot after his Hoosier tires gripped the dusty ground and launched him from the starting grid in first place. Houghton remained tactful in his approach to each corner of the Busco Beach track and stayed in the blue groove to provide himself with as much traction as possible. With great corner speed and remaining mistake free, Houghton stayed out front and out of the reach from any racer on the track with him, earning a big win for himself in the Pro-Am main event.

“I knew I had to hit my shift points and all of my marks out there if I wanted to stay out front and thankfully I was able to do that. The holeshot was key and I got out front early and was able to distance myself from the rest of the pack and start clicking away the laps. These guys were all really fast tonight but I was able to come out on top with no mechanical issues or mistakes. It feels awesome to get a win for me and the team and I can’t thank my sponsors enough for their help and support this season,” said Houghton on the podium.

Try-Way Racing / RAGE ATV / Walsh Racecraft’s Brian Ace has been a strong runner all season so far and round six in NC was no different for him. Ace got off to a good front-of-the-pack start for himself and began dialing into the track as his Hoosier tires heated up. Ace continued to hit the inside optional lane and let his PEP suspension do their jobs over the two single jumps leading into the tight left hand corner and soak up the shock of the flat landing. Ace stayed true to his lines and remained in second place for the entire main event and put himself on the box after the fifteen-lap contest was over.
