However, when the green flew again, it was all Davis as he quickly took the lead from Devin O’Connell of Madison, CT.<\/span><\/p>\n

He started in the thirteenth position and worked his way up to a very respectable third place finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On lap 84 the caution flag few for Kruczek as he ended up in the turn two wall, leading to the end of the race due to rain again. GSPSS officials determined that the track conditions played a role in Kruczek\u2019s accident and awarded him the second position at the finish.<\/p>\n

Luke Hinkley used his knowledge of the track from his ACT Tour experience to stay among the leaders for much of the race. Hinkley also posted the fastest lap of the race, which helped him to secure a fifth place finish his first time out with the series.\u00a0 For all this effort, Davis dominated the race lapping much of the field.<\/span><\/p>\n
