Masterful Drive Leads to SUPRSCharger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rodrigues, Powell on Podium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nelson Rodrigues drove a splendid race, running in second place the entire 62 lap race and eventually finished there over second behind the winner. Keith Powell was third after being involved in some very tough battles for position, including with his own teammate Steve Callahan, who ended up in fifth place. Early leader Clark held on for fourth after leading the first 38 laps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rough Night for Timmins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Five cautions for 19 laps slowed the race with Kevin Timmins being the cause of three of those and eventually ending his night with a wild flip in the BreezGraphics.com roadster on the front stretch. Timmins was the only driver scored with a DNF after a rough night for the likable driver from Baldwinsville, NY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
