Colton Herta dominated a majority of the race, as he cruised on to take his first win of the season at St. Petersburg. It is Herta’s fourth win in the Indycar Series, his first at St. Petersburg.

“We knew we needed to win,” Herta said.

“We needed a good points swing for us. It’ll put us up in the championship and that’s gonna make our lives that much easier in Texas and that much easier going forward for the rest of the season.”

Herta started the race on the pole, with Jack Harvey on his outside. The field would roar off to the green flag, and there would be some four-wide action near the mid-pack as Alexander Rossi would make an aggressive dive into the first corner. Herta would maintain the lead while Rossi moved up to eighth.

Sebastien Bourdais would have damage on the front nose after contact with the Penske cars of Simon Pagenaud and Josef Newgarden.

Scott Dixon would make an overtake on Pato O’Ward on the fifth lap, putting the defending champion up to the ninth position.

Conor Daly would pit early, as he would bring his No. 20 down pit road on Lap 11 in order to go for a three-stop strategy while many other teams looked at a two-stop strategy.

Jimmie Johnson would go off the track on Lap 16. He would struggle in getting the car to reverse while everyone else would come down pit road. Will Power, Romain Grosjean, and several others would come in, hoping for a caution to come out. Eventually, there would be a full course yellow as a result of Johnson’s stalled No. 48.

Herta would lead on the restart. Graham Rahal would make a dive on the outside of Rinus Veekay, putting the No. 15 to sixth.

On Lap 23, Takuma Sato would make a move to the inside of James Hinchcliffe into Turn 1. The two would make contact and as a result it would give Hinchcliffe’s No. 29 a flat tire.

Will Power and Grosjean would make contact battling it out, as they also would collide, putting Grosjean’s No. 51 into the wall. A few corners later he would find the wall again but would keep ongoing.

Sato would continue to get on the attack as he would make a dive on the inside of Hunter-Reay, putting him up to 11th.

Dixon would make a swing to the inside on Veekay, moving the No. 9 to eighth on Lap 28. Sato would make it three-wide on Veekay and O’Ward as the No. 21 would continue to plunge down the order. Sato would move up to ninth.

More drivers would head down pit road on Lap 30, as Veekay and Ryan Hunter-Reay would pit for tires and fuel.

A lap later, Newgarden would makes his move to second as he would pass Harvey off the first corner.

Green flag pit stops would continue to commence as Harvey, Bourdais, Dixon, and O’Ward would bring their cars down pit road on Lap 35. A majority of the field would come in lap after lap. Rossi and Rahal would duke it out, but Rossi would have a right front go down after the two would make contact, sending the two of them off course on Lap 38. Herta would cycle as the leader at the end of pit stops. Rossi would end up two laps down as a result of the contact, while Rahal would drop down to 19th.

The field would remain spread out for the next portion of laps, but as the field reached Lap 66, the final round of pit stops would begin. O’Ward would be the first to come in. Afterward, more would come down.

Leader Herta would have a close shave, as when he finished his stop, Newgarden was coming into his stall. The two nearly touched, but managed to stay off one another.

Dalton Kellett’s car would be stopped outside of Turn 1 on Lap 71. There would be no yellow regarding the No. 4’s stopped car.

Johnson’s troubles would continue as he would spin on Lap 74. As a result it would bring out another full course yellow.

Herta would lead the field once again to the restart, and everyone else would flock right behind the No. 26. However, another yellow would fly laps later as Ed Jones would try and make a move down the inside of Hinchcliffe, sending the No. 18 spinning around. O’Ward would also receive damage from the incident.

With 18 laps to go Herta would continue to hold his ground. Power would send it down the bottom underneath teammate Scott McLaughlin to take tenth away.

However, there would be no opposition for Herta, as he would take the win.

In terms of the standings, Alex Palou holds a two-point gap over Power and Dixon. Herta sits fourth in points, five points back. Simon Pagenaud rounds out fifth in the points, 13 points back. Harvey, Bourdais, Beekay, Ericsson, and Newgarden round out the rest of the top 10 in the points.

Next week marks a doubleheader at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, May 1st (at 7:00 PM ET) and 2nd (at 5:00 PM ET) respectively. Coverage will be on NBSCN, Peacock, and SiriusXM Radio.

Dominant Herta Grabs First 2021 Win at Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, April 25, 2021) – Colton Herta put the disappointment of a tough season opener behind him to dominate the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on Sunday, earning his first NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory of the season.

NTT P1 Award winner Herta led a race-record 97 of 100 laps from the pole in the No. 26 Gainbridge Honda to win by 2.4933 seconds over two-time series champion Josef Newgarden in the No. 2 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet. 2016 series champion Simon Pagenaud finished third in the No. 22 Menards/Australian Gold Team Penske Chevrolet on the 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary street circuit.

Herta’s average speed was 96.552 mph in a race slowed by just three full-course cautions for nine laps. All 24 drivers in the starting field coped with air temperatures in the low 80s and high humidity, sapping every bit of their world-class fitness over one hour, 51 minutes in the cockpit.

“What a great job by everybody,” Herta said. “Sorry, I can barely talk; I’m so winded. I’m so happy we did this, so happy to rebound from Barber and get the momentum going for the season that we need, which is a championship season.”

Front-row starter Jack Harvey ended up fourth in the No. 60 AutoNation/Sirius XM Honda. Six-time and defending series champion Scott Dixon finished fifth in the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda.

The strong finishes for Herta and Newgarden erased memories of a rugged season opener for both last Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park. Herta finished 22nd and Newgarden 23rd in the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama presented by AmFirst after Newgarden spun on the first lap and collected multiple cars, including Herta’s machine.

Barber race winner Alex Palou finished 17th today in the No. 10 NTT DATA Chip Ganassi Racing Honda but kept the championship lead, 67-65, over Will Power. 2014 series champion Power rallied from a 20th starting spot to finish eighth in the No. 12 Verizon 5G Team Penske Chevrolet.

Herta, who started the race on the Firestone “red” alternate tires, chose Firestone “black” primary tires on his final pit stop on Lap 67. Newgarden was forced to use the “reds” on his final stop on Lap 67 since he started on “blacks” and used another set of primary tires on his first stop.

It appeared tire strategy would be moot three laps after those final stops, as Herta was on cruise control and led Newgarden by 9.4390 seconds on Lap 70. But rookie Jimmie Johnson spun and clipped the inside wall in Turn 3 with his No. 48 Carvana Chip Ganassi Racing Honda on Lap 73, triggering the second full-course caution and evaporating Herta’s big lead.

On the ensuing restart on Lap 76, Newgarden and his grippier alternate tires made a run at Herta but couldn’t get close enough to pass. But then the No. 18 SealMaster Honda of Ed Jones, the No. 29 Genesys Honda of James Hinchcliffe and the No. 5 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet of Pato O’Ward made contact in Turn 4 on Lap 79, triggering the final full-course caution on Lap 80.

Two-time defending St. Petersburg race winner Newgarden got another chance to make a run at Herta on the restart on Lap 83, but Herta held him off. Newgarden stayed close to Herta in a gripping, all-American duel for the next 10 laps, but Herta kept his California cool and pulled away gradually for victory over Tennessee titan Newgarden.

“He’s so good around here,” Herta said of Newgarden. “I was nervous because he was on those new red tires. I thought they were going to be better. But they ended up being similar (to the primary tires), so I was able to hold him off.”

Said Newgarden: “We lost a little too much ground on that second stint to capitalize on the reds. Then we had the caution, which almost gifted us another chance. I just didn’t want to overextend myself today. I felt like I had close to an opportunity, but Colton was really good. He was doing a great job on the restarts.

“Congrats to Colton. It’s a great rebound for both of us. I felt bad about what happened last week, so really happy he got back on it today and had a very deserved victory. I wish we could have fought him a bit more. We were just lacking a little bit.”

It was the fourth career victory for Herta, 21, in his third season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. He matched the INDYCAR SERIES win total of his father, Bryan Herta, who competed from 1994-2006 and now calls race strategy for his son for Andretti Autosport.

“That was awesome,” Herta said. “I love that he’s on my radio.”

The first oval events of the season are next on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule, with a doubleheader next weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. The Genesys 300 is scheduled for 7 p.m. (ET) Saturday, May 1, with the XPEL 375 set for 5 p.m. Sunday, May 2.

Hard Fought Run to Fourth for Harvey and Meyer Shank Racing in St. Petersburg

Result marks Harvey’s second best career INDYCAR finish

St. Petersburg, Fla. (25 April 2021) – Jack Harvey capitalized on his strong St. Petersburg pace with a remarkable drive to fourth place in Sunday’s 100 lap Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. The result is the second top five finish for Meyer Shank Racing and the No. 60 AutoNation / SiriusXM Honda.

Closing out practice in the top three and qualifying on the front row for the second time in his career was the recipe for a strong podium finish for Harvey during the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

Taking the green flag on Firestone alternate tires, Harvey slotted into second position and didn’t look back for the first 30 laps of the 100 lap race. Harvey kept the pressure on the leading cars ahead despite scorching track temperatures and rapidly degrading tires.

After a lap 34 pit stop for a set of primary tires and a front wing adjustment, Harvey was once again on the hunt towards the podium contending cars. The second half of the race saw Harvey take aggressive action through on two restarts to hold fourth.

The team was hopeful that finishing the race on primary tires would give Harvey the chance to fight back into podium position. The final 10 laps of the race saw the top four evenly spaced out as Harvey began to pull away from fifth. The Brit ultimately crossed the finish line fourth in the order, marking for his second best INDYCAR finish – behind his third place result at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course in 2019.

“I think that was a solid day,” said Harvey. “Obviously when you start on the front row, you want a podium. But overall the No. 60 AutoNation / SiriusXM Honda was working really well. It would have been awesome to be on the podium in AutoNation’s home race, but it’s been a really great start to the year, and that’s what we didn’t have last year. I’m really happy with everyone at Meyer Shank Racing. They have been working their butts off to have these results. We’ve been close to a pole, and to a podium today. But if we keep working at it, those things will come.”

“Jack did an awesome job today,” said Mike Shank. “We lost a bit of pace towards the end of our stint on reds but we knew that Jack was really strong on blacks which is why we decided to finish the race that way. These are the types of results that we need to be getting this year and to start off the season this way is great for morale heading into the rest of the season.

Meyer Shank Racing will continue a three week streak of INDYCAR races with the double-header race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway May 1-2.

NEWGARDEN AND PAGENAUD PODIUM QUOTES
APRIL 25, 2021

JOSEF NEWGARDEN AND SIMON PAGENAUD put Chevrolet on the podium at St. Petersburg.

JOSEF NEWGARDEN, NO. 2 HITACHI TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET – Finished 2nd
IT GOT A BIT CLOSE AT THE END. TALK US THROUGH THE IDEA THAT YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT ON THE REDS AT THE END. WHAT WAS YOUR THINKING GOING INTO THAT FINAL STINT?
“Well, we lost a little too much ground in that second stint, really; to capitalize with the reds. And then we had the caution, which almost gifted us another chance. And I just didn’t want to over-extend myself today. I felt like I was close to an opportunity, but Colton (Herta, race winner) was really good. He was doing a great job on the restarts. It was tough to get tire temps. So, I pushed really hard right there in those two initial restarts. I didn’t have quite the runs I needed, so I didn’t want to risk anything. But a good day. I’m really happy with Chevy’s performance and thankful for all their work; and to have Hitachi on and get a podium is really nice here to start our year off. So, congrats to Colton. It was a great rebound for both of us. I feel bad about what happened last week, so I’m really happy that he got back on it today and had a very deserved victory. I wish we could have fought him a little bit more. I think we were just lacking a little bit.”

GREAT REBOUND FROM LAST WEEK. WAS THAT PART OF THE IDEA ABOUT NOT OVER-EXTENDING AND WHAT YOU WERE THINKING?
“Yeah, if I have an opportunity I’m going to go for the win. I was very close to having just enough of that opportunity. I think I was just a little shy of it. So, I didn’t want to force something that wasn’t there today. It’s not the day to do that. But I’m happy with the podium. We obviously want to win but we’re on the board now. “I was close but I think he (Colton Herta) definitely had us covered. We had a good opportunity with those cautions bringing us back into the mix. I just didn’t want to over extend myself if the opportunity wasn’t perfect. And I didn’t feel like it wasn’t the perfect opportunity to make the pass. I looked for it, it just wasn’t there. Podium is pretty nice. Would have liked to have that third win, but we are back in the war and that’s what we needed after last week.”

SIMON PAGENAUD, NO. 22 MENARDS/AUSTRALIAN GOLD TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET – Finished 3rd
YOU’VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL NEW GOLD LIVERY AND ELVIS-STYLE GLASSES, AND YOU END UP ON THE PODIUM. THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE IDEA, RIGHT?
“Yes, Australian Gold. I’m glad we had some sunglasses and sunscreen this weekend. It was a hot race. But we’re very happy with the end.”

JOSEF NEWGARDEN HAD TO USE THE REDS. YOU HAD A CHOICE AND PUT THEM ON. DO YOU THINK ULTIMATELY THAT WAS RIGHT IN THE END?
“Yeah, it was great strategy. We really had a shot on restarts, but it was too slippery on the inside to go for it. I noticed it when I tried to pass Jack (Harvey). But really when I lost the race was at the beginning of the first stint but overall, I think it was a great performance by the No. 22 Chevy Australian Gold team. That was a great performance. I think on street courses we could be very strong. I can’t wait for the oval, especially Indy and Texas.”

IT WASN’T THAT LONG AGO THAT YOU WERE ON THE PODIUM, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN 2021
“Yeah, we finished really well here. I think we finished sixth last year. And then we made some more improvement

“Very good street course run. Awesome. Very happy all weekend. I couldn’t ask for a better car. Great strategy. Fantastic looking car. It made social media for sure. Australian Gold is a new partner for Menards. I hope We get to see that gold car more often.”

Dual Sasco Sports International/American Challenge Races Don’t Disappoint Saturday at the 43rd Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Mitty at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta

  • Eric Lux and Goldcrest Motorsports Score Second 43rd Mitty Feature Race Win with Overall Victory in Sasco Sports Race A
  • Craig Watkins Takes Overall Honors in Sasco Sports Race B in 1968 No. 46 Porsche 911 Prepared by the 901 Shop
  • Chevrolet Corvair Teams Sting the Competition with Sasco Sports Race B Top-Three American Class Sweep

BRASELTON, Georgia (April 24, 2021) – Dual Sasco Sports International/American Challenge races didn’t disappoint Saturday at the 43rd Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Mitty as the pair of flat-out sprints – with nearly 70 combined entries – brought Day 2 of this year’s Mitty to an exciting and competitive conclusion.

Eric Lux and Goldcrest Motorsports scored their second-straight 43rd Mitty feature race win with an overall and Porsche-class victory in Sasco Sports Race A for larger displacement cars.

Lux topped a field of 30-plus entries in his Goldcrest Motorsports 1973 No. 0 Porsche 911 RSR for his second Sasco Sports victory at Road Atlanta in a row. Lux and Goldcrest also won the Sasco Sports International/American Challenge race at the HSR Fall Historics last October at Road Atlanta in the same No. 0 Porsche 911.

Porsche also prevailed in Sasco Sports Race B for smaller cars with Craig Watkins taking a close but flag-to-flag overall and class win in his 1968 No. 46 Porsche 911 prepared by the 901 Shop.

Watkins crossed the finish line just 1.299 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, but Lux had an even narrower gap in Race A with a scant 0.188 of a second margin of victory.

As he did in last October’s Sasco Sports race win, Lux battled throughout the race with Todd Treffert in his Speedconcepts 1974 No. 141 Porsche 911 IROC prepared by the 901 Shop. Treffert led the race early and kept the pressure on to the finish for the close runner-up result.

David Hinton completed the overall podium and secured third-place Porsche honors in the Heritage Motorsports 1974 No. 114 Porsche 911 RSR.

Two spots behind Hinton, and completing the top-five overall, was Gary Moore who beamed in victory lane as he celebrated his birthday with another Sasco Sports American-class win in his Cobra Automotive 1966 No. 98 Shelby GT350.

Second-place in the American class – in a preview of what was to come in Sasco Sports Race B – was secured by Mike Levine in his V8-powered 1965 No. 4 Chevrolet Corvair.

Levine finished seventh overall and one spot ahead of third-place American-division finisher John McCormick in his 1985 No. 28 Autocraft Cobra Mk IV prepared by Cobra Automotive.

Watkins led every lap for his Sasco Sports Race B overall and Porsche class win but a fast-closing James Reeve kept the pressure on the finish in his 1966 No. 51 Yenko Stinger Corvair.

Reeve set the overall fastest race lap and crossed the finish line in second just 1.299 seconds behind Watkins. The strong runner-up result anchored an unprecedented top-three sweep of Corvair Yenko Stingers to fill the American-class podium.

Michael Leveque in his No. 23 1966 Yenko Stinger finished a solid seventh overall and second in the American division while David Clemens was third in the stars-and-stripes class and 11th overall in his No. 241 1967 Yenko Stinger.

Watkins was joined on the Porsche-class podium by runner-up Bob Lane in his 1969 No. 15 Porsche 911 SC and third-place finisher Joe Sullivan in the Joe Joe Racing 1989 No. 14 Porsche 944 S.

Sasco Sports International class winners were Bob Summerour in Race A and Quinn Derby in Race B.

Summerour drove to victory in the Heritage Motorsports 1972 No. 201 BMW CSL. Second-place in International Race A went to Steven Davison in his pristine Heritage Motorsports-prepared 1962 No. 2 Jaguar XKE while Andrew Meudt took third in his equally immaculate 1985 No. 15 BMW 635 CSI.

Derby finished third behind Watkins and Reeve in his quick 1968 No. 141 Triumph Spitfire to a complete a rare overall podium comprised of the race’s three class winners.

Andre Herke finished a solid fourth overall and second in International Race B in his 1968 No. 16 BMW 2002, just ahead of the similar BMW of John Bibbo.

Bibbo finished fifth overall and earned his second-straight Sasco Sports podium finish with a third place showing in his 1976 No. 208 BMW 2002 prepared by Motorsport Services. Bibbo finished second in the final Sasco Sports race of 2020 at Sebring last December in what was his first solo podium finish in HSR competition.

Dyson Breaks Trans Am Track Record in Sonoma Qualifying

By
Official Release
-

Mayer, Gregg and Crocker fastest in class at Sonoma Raceway

SONOMA, CALIF. (24 April 2021)- The fast turns and steep elevation changes at Sonoma Raceway made for an interesting qualifying session for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli West Coast Championship drivers on Saturday afternoon.

Chris Dyson dominated the TA/XGT/SGT 20-minute qualifying session, breaking the track record by more than two seconds with a 1:32.923-second flyer on Lap 4. The former record of 1:34.994-seconds was set in 2020 by legendary Trans Am driver Greg Pickett.

Confident in his time, Dyson parked his newly yellow and white outfitted No. 20 ALTWELL CBD Ford Mustang after laying down his personal best lap to save his Pirelli tires for Sunday’s 100-mile feature.
That pause proved to be the right decision, as Dyson’s time was the fastest overall of the day, earning him the Motul Pole Award.

Dyson traveled more than 3,000 miles from his home in New York to race on the historic circuit for the first time in Trans Am. Dyson’s family has deep rooted history at Sonoma, competing in IMSA GTP 1985 to 1990, then 1995 to 1997 with IMSA WSC, in 1999 and then 2002 through 2005 with the American Le Mans Series. Dyson’s last visit was back in 2015 with the then Pirelli World Challenge.

“The car was brilliant today,” said Dyson. “I always love coming to race here at Sonoma. This is my first time bringing the Trans Am car, and I am so glad to put my new sponsor Altwell CBD on the pole. It’s going to be a great race, we have a lot of work to do, but it sure is nice to come here today and get the track record to continue my family legacy here.”

Driving the No. 59 The Peter Gregg Foundation Mercedes Benz AMG, reigning XGT champion Simon Gregg set the fastest time in his class with a flyer of 1:35.879-seconds. Gregg was briefly eclipsed on Lap 7 by Erich Joiner in the No. 10 Good Boy Bob Coffee Roaster Porsche 991 GT3 R, but the seasoned racer went back to the top on the following circuit.

New this season, the mixed-class field will line up according to the drivers’ overall time, regardless of class- which means Gregg’s Mercedes AMG will start off pole next to Dyson’s Ford Mustang.

With the sun fading into clouds and track temperatures dropping, the TA2® session started with a black flag before the completion of the first lap. After having a strong performance in practice, running a third-overall time, Scott Borchetta made contact with the tire barrier exiting Turn 8. Borchetta remained unscathed by the incident but his No. 48 Big Machine Vodka Ford Mustang did not continue the session.

Following an extended clean up, the drivers returned to qualifying with an additional five minutes added to the clock. Charlotte Motor Speedway winner Sam Mayer topped the TA2® standings on the first lap in the No. 8 M1-SLR/Fields Chevrolet Camaro, and beat his own personal best time (1:36.877-seconds) on Lap 3.

“It’s my first time here, and it’s awesome to come in and dominate the class like this, it’s a great feeling,” said Mayer. “TeamSLR and Scott Lagasse put together a great piece for me today and I’m going fast. I just have to do my part in the race tomorrow and go out there and crush it.”

Mayer will be on point in the second row beside his teammate Connor Mosack in the No. 28 NicTailor/IFS M1-SLR/Fields Chevrolet Camaro. Mosack missed the full test day yesterday after suffering from dehydration due to food poising. Practice on Saturday morning was Mosack’s first time in the seat this weekend and his first experience at Sonoma.

Row 3 will be another mixed class row with Joiner starting fifth and TA2® class newcomer Carl Rydquist in the No. 47 Racecars4Rent/GroupWholesale Ford Mustang.

In his Sonoma debut with Trans Am, Rob Crocker set the fastest time in the SGT class with a 1:45.158-second lap driving the No. 77 Krytauri Cybersecurity Porsche Cayman. However, with the new race rule for 2021, Crocker will start 22nd in the now 29-car field.

“The session was pretty good but the track temperatures dropped quite a bit so getting the tires warmed up was a bit tricky,” Croker said. “Once we got the tires to temperature the car started to hook up a little bit and we made a few last minute set up adjustments that ended up going in the right direction. It was a nice easy breezy session for us.”

Headlining the Sonoma SpeedTour weekend, the combined-class Trans Am 100-mile race is set for Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Pacific. Follow www.gotransam.com/livetiming for live timing and scoring throughout the weekend.

Carter Dominates Mazda MX-5 Cup Race Two at St. Petersburg

By
Official Release
-

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (April 24, 2021) – When an early caution slowed the action on the streets of St. Petersburg, Michael Carter (No. 08 Carter Racing Enterprises) thought that his work to pull away from the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires field was all for naught. He didn’t need to worry; when racing resumed, he still could not be caught. Carter took the win by over two seconds, a mammoth margin in MX-5 Cup competition, and leaves St. Petersburg in the points lead following six races in the 14-race championship.

Starting from the pole, Carter held off Gresham Wagner (No. 5 Spark Performance) through the opening laps. Any mistake by Wagner meant he was pounced on by a train of cars behind him. This gave Carter the opportunity to build a comfortable gap, until 10 minutes into the race, the car of Aaron Jeansonne (No. 24 Provision Motorsports) caught fire and brought out the race’s only full-course yellow. Jeansonne was able to pull off and exit the car.

When the track was clear and green flag racing resumed, there was 26 minutes left on the race clock. This commenced a hectic battle for second through sixth positions, which enabled Carter to once again pull away.

The fight for the final two podium spots was intense. Eventually, Sam Paley (No. 28 McCumbee McAleer Racing) emerged as the breakaway driver to chase down Carter.

While scrapping for third, Wagner and Jared Thomas (No. 96 JTR Motorsports Engineering) made contact in Turn Two. Thomas spun and was lucky to have not been hit by any of the cars packed up behind them. Wagner continued on, and Thomas dropped down the order. He eventually climbed back to 16th at the finish.

Race One winner Selin Rollan (No. 87 Hixon Motor Sports) did not get a chance to challenge for the podium. Contact with the wall in Turn 10 damaged his car and he parked in pit lane with 10 minutes left.

Up front, Paley was ever so slightly chipping away at Carter’s lead, but eventually ran out of time. Carter took the win by 2.210 seconds over Paley.

“That was how you want them to go,” Carter said. “You want to sit on pole, lead every lap, and win the race. We didn’t get that done this morning, but it was great to do that in Race Two. I worked my tail off to get that gap before the yellow and then when the yellow came out, I radioed ‘I just did all that for nothing!’ But fortunately, when we restarted, they got to racing really hard and I was able to do it again. The last ten laps, I was just taking care of everything as much as I could.”

Carter’s two poles, two fast laps, runner-up finish in Race One and win in Race Two have propelled him into the MX-5 Cup Championship lead by 120 points over Wagner.

“Congrats to Sam (Paley), he drove his tail off and to Gresham (Wagner) as well after he had that problem in race one,” Carter added. “Also, a big thank you to everyone at Coaches Corner back in Savannah who watches us and supports us, a big thank you to them!”

Paley collected his second podium of his rookie season. His first top-three came in his Mazda MX-5 Cup debut at Daytona International Raceway in January.

“Honestly, that was probably the hardest race of my entire life,” a red-faced Paley said. “I’m not going to lie, I’m out of breath! I really gave it 110 percent the entire time. We were the fastest car on track, but unfortunately the gap was just too big and we just didn’t have enough laps. I had the car and gave it everything I had so I’m satisfied with second, especially after the DNF in race one. It was a good, tough race.”

Third was a satisfying finish for Wagner after a drivetrain issue in Race One forced him to retire. His relief was tempered with some regret for his contact with Thomas, though race officials deemed it to be a racing incident with no penalties issued.

“I am a bit relieved,” Wagner admitted. “I said after my Daytona win, that was the hardest race I had ever driven, but today has that one beat! The heat, the duration, just being so busy around here, it was ruthless.

“I feel good about the result, but I do feel bad about the contact I had with Jared Thomas,” he added. “Ultimately, I think it was more of a racing deal, and I guess race control agreed. All I know is he went around, and lost positions. And that’s just not how you want anything to go when you are racing someone. Everything aside, I’m glad to leave here with a podium, and ready to move on to the next one!”

Finishing fourth, 15 year-old Luca Mars (No. 41 Copeland Motorsports) had his best MX-5 Cup race weekend thus far. The rookie finished fifth in Race One.

Rookie drivers had a strong showing on the streets of St. Petersburg; five of them finished in the top 10 in Race Two. In addition to Paley and Mars, Chris Nunes (No. 32 JTR Motorsports Engineering) finished sixth, Juan Hernandez Leiva (No. 59 Team Guatamala) finished seventh and Daniel Williams (No. 38 Copeland Motorsports) finished eighth.

The 2019 Mazda MX-5 Cup Champion Bryan Ortiz (No. 4 Copeland Motorsports) completed the top five.

Alex Bachoura (No. 33 Slipstream Performance) earned the Hard Charger Award for advancing from 18th to 11th in the 45-minute race.

A recap of Rounds Five and Six at St. Petersburg will air on NBCSN, Wednesday, May 5, at 3pm ET.

Mazda MX-5 Cup Rounds Seven and Eight will take place May 14 – 16 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Both races will be streamed live on IMSA.com and NBC Sports Gold TrackPass.

UMBENHAUER ENDS 3-YEAR WINLESS DROUGHT, B. HIRTHLER, FLAMMER AND LAPP SCORE VICTORIES AT GRANDVIEW SATURDAY NIGHT

By
Official Release
-

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. April 25, 2021 . . . Last Saturday Jared Umbenhauer fell one spot short of a win in the Modified feature at Grandview Speedway despite his valiant efforts in his march to the front.

Saturday night the “Richland Rocket” had the Richard Brown-owned No. 19 in top notch form, slid underneath leader Kevin Graver on the 19th lap of the 30-lap TP Trailers 358 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Modified feature to grab the win. Even though lapped traffic in the later stages allowed defending point champion Craig Von Dohren to close in, Umbenhauer went on to score a well-deserved, long overdue victory ending a three-year winless drought for his first win of the current campaign. The last time Umbenhauer visited victory lane was August 25, 2018.

In the T.P. Truck Equipment 25-lap Sportsman feature two-time and defending point champion Brian Hirthler passed Jesse Landis for the lead on the 12th lap and went on to score his second win of the season.

Todd Lapp led from start to finish in the 12-lap Outlaw Vintage Modified feature to take home the checkered while Nicho Flammer was the winner in the 12-lap Sportsman Outlaw Vintage event.

Modified action saw polesitter Graver take the early lead trailed by Brett Gilmore, Richie Hitzler, Craig Whitmoyer and Louden Reimert.

With seven laps completed numerous cars made contact along the homestretch and as a result two-time and last week’s feature winner Brett Kressley found himself spinning into the infield for the first caution. Graver remained the leader when action resumed, but by this time Reimert advanced to second putting in his bids for the top spot. Just waiting for a slip up by the pair as they raced side-by-side in hopes to advance were Whitmoyer, Umbenhauer and Doug Manmiller.

Jeff Strunk stopped in turn four with a flat tire for the next yellow on the 13th lap. Graver was still number one on the restart while Reimert, Umbenhauer, Von Dohren and Whitmoyer gave him no room to falter.

A three-way battle for first developed between Graver, Reimert and Umbenhauer with neither one giving an inch.

Umbenhauer overtook second on the 17th lap and two laps later he was circling the 1/3-mile oval as the new pacesetter after he shot to the inside of Graver to accomplish the feat.

Von Dohren was second by the 20th lap and off in pursuit of Umbenhauer who began to encounter lapped traffic that Graver, Reimert and Duane Howard running third through fifth also had to endure.

Umbenhauer never gave up his torrid pace until he saw the checkered to claim the triumph. Chasing him across the finish were Von Dohren, Reimert, Howard and Graver, for his best finish. Sixth through tenth were Whitmoyer, Kevin Hirthler, Kressley, who came back after the early skirmish; Dylan Swinehart and Strunk, another one that overcame adversity.

Carroll Hine III, Graver and Strunk won the heats. The consi was won by Ryan Grim.

Landis was the early leader of the Sportsman feature with pressure coming from Bryan Rhoads, Tyler James, Joey Vaccaro and Cody Schantz.

Numerous cautions plagued the beginning of the event making it difficult to get laps completed. After three attempts to complete lap six, the restart was single file. Landis remained first on the next try, but by this time Kyle Smith was second.
Landis had a new challenger at the completion of the eighth lap as now Hirthler held the second spot.

The lead changed on the 12th lap when Hirthler charged past Landis and into the number one spot.

Hirthler wasted no time building up a sizeable lead and made it appear easy to open up the distance each time around.
Steve Young regrouped the field with two laps to go after he hit the fourth turn wall. Hirthler was still the leader on the restart, but now Smith slipped into second to try to get by him.

Hirthler never surrendered first and went on to score his ninth career win trailed by Smith, Landis, Ryan Lilick and Lex Shive. Rounding out the top ten were Ryan Beltz, Kenny Gilmore, Jimmy Leiby, who earned an extra monetary bonus for being the highest driver with a crate engine; Brandon Edgar and James.

Colton Perry, Vaccaro and Landis won the heats. Edgar and Cody Manmiller took the consi wins.

The Outlaw Vintage features had both Lapp and Flammer lead from the drop of the green until the wave of the checkered.

Second through fifth to Lapp with the Modifieds were Wes Cassel, Mike Stofflet, Scott Schaeffer and Jeff Paulson.

Chasing Flammer across the Sportsman finish line were Jay Garris, Mike Garris Sr., Bill Gerhart and Myron Heydt.

Next up at Grandview is the May 1st doubleheader featuring the NASCAR Auto Parts Weekly Series with the T.P. Trailers Modifieds and T.P.Truck Equipment Sportsman. Racing starts at a new weekly time of 7:30 p.m. for the balance of the season.
