CALHAN, Colo. – Fresh off his first victory with the ASCS Elite North Non-Wing Series, New Mexico’s Michael Fanelli added his second in as many races Saturday at El Paso County Raceway.
Trailing Spencer Hill the first half of the feature, traffic came into play for Fanelli to help propel the No. 2 into the lead with Coby Pearce in tow. A caution with two laps to run set up a green-white-checkered restart. Fanelli had to fend off the pair as Hill reclaimed the runner-up position, but was unable to get back around Fanelli.
Coby Pearce crossed third from seventh, followed by Jeff Seesholtz in fourth. Ryan Devitt moved forward from 13th to fifth.
The finish:
1. 2-Michael Fanelli[4]; 2. 11W-Spencer Hill[1]; 3. 92-Coby Pearce[7]; 4. 9-Jeff Seesholtz[6]; 5. 35-Ryan Devitt[13]; 6. 75-Nick Nichols[10]; 7. 43-Adam Trimble[14]; 8. 55-Gary Land[2]; 9. 28B-Matt Bolin[11]; 10. 28-Ryan Riggs[3]; 11. 19M-Jason Tirb[8]; 12. 16X-Tim Walker[15]; 13. 59-Butch Hardman[16]; 14. (DNF) 5-Mark Bensenberg[12]; 15. (DNF) 8-Brett Ream[5]; 16. (DNF) 16-Brian Hardman[9]
