Congratulations to Kevin McCann as he comes home victorious in Race 5 of the IROC Challenge Series at Talladega Superspeedway. This is Kevin's second victory of the regular season.
Kevin seemed to have a strategy of running around in the back for the majority of the race and striking when opportunity showed itself. The would work out perfectly for Kevin as he would place himself in the right place at the right time at the end. Coming to the checkered flag off of turn four it would be checkers or wreckers as at least 20 cars would pile up after contact from a four wide exit off the turn.
The race itself would not disappoint as we saw many green flag laps again and three wide racing many rows back. In total we would run the full length of 100 laps. There were 4 cautions (2 stage break cautions) for 13 laps. On the night we would see 48 lead changes among 14 drivers. To say the least, racing in the IROC Series has been top notch so far this season.
Stage 1 would end in dramatic fashion as you could throw a blanket under the first 6 cars coming to the stripe. In the end Chris Walley would take the checkered flag to win the stage.
Stage 2 would end a little early as a caution mid pack would come out as the leaders had just a couple laps to end the stage. Brian McCann would find himself as the victor in Stage 2 to pick up the 10 regular season bonus points and one playoff point.
The racing has been amazing. Next week will be Race 6 of the Regular Season at Rockingham Speedway. This will also be our first of three regular season Dash4Cash events. Be sure to tune in LIVE on Global SimRacing Channel next Thursday, September 8th, at 9:40pm EST.
