F1’s at Nexus Racing

On the pole is the green Alpha of Chad Sharp, 2nd is the blue and silver Alpha of Andy Wallace, 3rd is the Red MLP F103 of Richard Hall, 4th is Keith Fitzgerald in the blue and yellow CRC, and 5th is Kent Ball in the red F201.

At the start it seemed like a sure win for Chad Sharp, but after catching the inside of the first corner and collecting Keith Fitzgerald he had to push hard to catch up. Meanwhile Richard Hall and Andy Wallace battled hard for the top spot until a collision between Andy and Kent let Richard retain a commanding lead with Chad sharp following closely in second. While recovering from the collision, Andy went wide and allowed Keith to slip by and take third place. Chad was closing in on the leader when a costly mistake forced him to retire his TQ ride due to mechanical trouble.

With Chad out of the running, the pressure was off Richard and allowed him to turn some of the fastest laps of the race. Unfortunately, while coming around to lap third place driver Andy, the two got together and allowed second place driver Keith Fitzgerald to close in on the leader. With about two minutes to go, Keith was right on Richard’s wing and knocking hard on the back door. The back and forth battle continued until Richard went a little wide in the second corner allowing Keith to slip into the lead. However it would not last long as Richard unintentionally tagged Keith in the rear sending both cars off line. Richard, being the good sportsman that he is, let Keith continue on in the lead and the two battled the rest of the way to the buzzer.
