(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - September 8,
2012) -It was a night of firsts at Flat Rock Speedway Saturday
as Angola, IN driver Scott Hantz held back Johnny VanDoorn and Jason Dietsch to
win the exciting 7-Up 125 lap feature for the ARCA/CRA Super Series Late
Models, Scott’s first Flat Rock win and the Series initial visit to the
track. Bobby Hugo edged Danny Bennett by
2 car lengths to grab his first victory in the 300 lap Enduro championship
race, and Matt Ringger’s 6th place run was enough to seal the deal
on his first-ever Enduro championship.
The first
visit ever to Flat Rock by the ARCA/CRA cars was a great race as the battle up
front waged on throughout the 125 lap contest.
West Virginia driver Travis Braden started things off by setting fast
time at 12:228. Travis drew an 8 for the
inversion, giving Kenzie Ruston the pole starting spot. Pat Zorn led lap 1, but Ruston took control
on lap 2 and led for 6 laps. Hantz spun
on lap 7 to bring out the yellow flag.
Braden had to check up to avoid the incident, ending up with some damage
and forcing him to the pits. VanDoorn,
not satisfied with his machine, also pitted and rejoined the race after making
some adjustments. The man on the move
was Nate Caruth, who grabbed the top spot away from Ruston on lap 9 and set the
pace through lap 90. The yellow flags were only for minor incidents and the
pace of the race was quick, but the competition for position was fierce
throughout the pack.
