Once again this year, the track set forth to raise money for childhood cancer awareness and once again proved successful. Rob Charapata led lap one before a caution came out for debris on the track. On the ensuing lap, Wilinski made an inside pass for the lead. On lap three, Matt Oreskovich moved into the second spot and by lap five Joel Seegert raced his way to third and looked to be a contender.  As Wilinski led, Seegert moved up to second on lap seven. Seegert, running the highest of grooves around the track, pulled to the outside of Wilinski in a bat­tle for the lead on lap nine.  As the duo fought for the lead, Seegert got into the front stretch wall, ending [Read More]
