“In the parade lap, I broke a heim joint and missed the start, but I was able to work up and had a great battle with Mike Sloan, but he got away. I’m still happy with second considering how things started,” said Ryan Waldo.

Pro Motorsports’ Matt Hancock was looking good off the start and moved into the lead in lap two after recording the fastest lap time of the Pro-am race with a time of 11:46.423. In the next lap, Hancock got stuck in the WORCS X section and fell back to third where he would stay until reaching the checkered flag.

“I got stuck in the split line twice and fell back, but I had a good race. Pro Motorsports, Maxxis Tires, Elka, Doug Roll, they have all helped me out so much and helped me to have a great race this weekend,” said Hancock, who is just three points off the lead in championship points.
