BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — After over 26 years, the NAPA All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline returned to the famed red clay of Bloomington Speedway for the Kelly Kinser Classic.
Former All Star champion im Shaffer, added his 69th career All Star win and took home the $5,000 payday.
Shaffer, who started second behind Scott Bogucki, would have to bide his time as the 35-lap feature would be plagued with cautions and red flags during the first 12 laps of action.
Bogucki led every lap up until a blown right rear tire on lap 24 handed Shaffer the lead.
Shaffer fended off All Star point leader, Kalib Henry and Auckland, New Zealand’s Max Guilford, who rounded out the top three, respectively.
“We’ve definitely been faster and are getting faster,” Shaffer said of his time this season with the Michael Dutcher 17GP.
The finish:
Feature (35 Laps): 1. 17GP-Tim Shaffer[2]; 2. 101-Kalib Henry[6]; 3. 16C-Max Guilford[5]; 4. 40-Howard Moore[7]; 5. 37-Bryce Norris[4]; 6. 23L-Jimmy Light[12]; 7. 77-Geoff Dodge[3]; 8. 09-Craig Mintz[17]; 9. 34-Sterling Cling[16]; 10. 7N-Darin Naida[15]; 11. 5E-Bobby Elliott[14]; 12. 49X-Cale Thomas[10]; 13. 12S-Aydn Schmidt[21]; 14. 45-Devon Borden[22]; 15. 22-Brandon Spithaler[13]; 16. 51-Scott Bogucki[1]; 17. 20B-Cody Bova[9]; 18. 87-Reed Whitney[19]; 19.
