It was a fun night.” The fifth starting Drueke and fourth starting Grossenbacher ran 1-2 much of the 20-lapper, con­tested by 19 cars representing six states. The caution came out with six laps remaining; Grossen­bacher used the top side to take the lead away two circuits later. “I thought for sure he’d (Drueke) go to the top for the restart,” Grossenbacher said. “He went to the bottom and that’s when I [Read More]
