PERRIS, Calif. — Taking command from Austin Williams on the third lap, Mitchel Moles led the rest of the way to score the first Avanti Windows & Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car win of his career at Perris Auto Speedway.
Driving the Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports No. 19az Spike, the Raisin City, California driver finished ahead of Williams, hard charger R.J. Johnson, Hayden Reinbold and Brody Roa.
For his efforts, Mitchel also scored an extra $500 bonus from series title sponsor, Avanti Windows & Doors.
For the majority of the 30-lap main event, Moles who primarily races with the USAC National Series in the Midwest, had to fend off Williams as both drivers raced multiple laps side by side on a two groove surface and around slower traffic.
When the checkered flag waved, the night belonged to Moles, who became the eighty-eighth winning driver with USAC/CRA dating back to 2004.
Moles began the evening by posting his fourth career Woodland Auto Display / WC Friend Company Access Systems Fast Time Award with a time of 16.328 seconds.
