Andretti Picks up Second Feature Win!
Jarrett Andretti is seeking his first career track championship. After picking up his second career win at Lawrenceburg this season, he finds himself in a good position to win the Kelsey Chevrolet Sprint Car Track Championship. Andretti started on the pole but outside pole sitter, CJ Leary took the lead. Early on in the feature, Leary slapped the wall hard in turn 4. He was able to keep going but the caution was already waving for Leary. By rule, Leary was the reason for the caution so he was sent to the tail. Leary’s problems would continue. On the following restart, his car would not turn and a mechanical problem forced Leary to retire from the event. That turned the lead over to Andretti who paced the field for several laps before Jordan Kinser was able to pass Andretti for the lead. Kinser would lead for several laps while Andretti and now third place running Justin Grant were gaining on the leader. Andretti was able to pass Kinser with 4 laps remaining. It was Andretti’s second win of the year and allows him to increase his lead in the chase for the track championship. The rest of the top 5 were Justin Grant, Jordan Kinser, Garrett Abrams, and Dickie Gaines. Heat race winners were Leary and Kinser. The sprint cars return on Saturday July 30th for The Jason Soudrette Memorial.
