Brooklyn, MI - What a finish we had today at the Michigan International Speedway in the beautiful Irish Hills of Brooklyn, Michigan. With 23 laps remaining in the race, Benton Gale, winner at Texas, took the lead and had his sights set on his second win in three races. All seemed to be going well until he hit lapped traffic and couldn't find a way around them. That allowed Rob Nielsen, our defending champ who has struggled, to catch up to Gale and make the pass on the race's final lap and take the victory away from Gale. Nielsen's win turns around his season which was beginning to look like a lost cause early on.
In third today was Douglas Douglas who put together a great run in his #55 Frank's Red Hot car. In fourth was Bo Duke who led 76 laps on the day. And rounding out the top 5 was Magnus Nielsen.
A big accident on lap 161 knocked out Comrade Path, Seamus Archer, Cannon Pace, David Ginsberg, Mustafa Henderson, Lew Sifford, Kyle Kappe, Dexter Jackson Sr., and Indy Wahl. Pace's car rolled over numerous times in the accident and he had to helped from the car. He was transported to the hospital for further observation. No word on his current status.
