ANDERSON, Ind. – Kentucky driver Josh Brock is no stranger to Anderson Speedway and he revisited the track’s victory lane during Saturday’s JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour event.
Brock started sixth in the 25-car starting field Saturday for the Aerco Heating & Cooling 100, never falling out of the top-10 in the running order.
He moved into the second spot following a caution flag on lap 49 with an inside move on Brandon Varney and five laps later he passed Wes Griffith Jr. to take the point.
Brock then was able to maintain the lead through six restarts turning back strong challenges from Cody Coughlin and Steve Dorer.
He won by .366 seconds over Coughlin, with Dorer coming home in third, followed by Mason Keller and Brandon Oakley.
With each wave of the caution flag the following restart brought about a scrambling in the running order as drivers battled for every advantage on the quarter-mile oval.
Wes Griffith Jr. led the first lap from the pole position but was quickly passed by Brandon Varney with an outside move on the back straight.
The first caution flag waved on lap 30 when Travis Braden spun after contact with Oakley in turn four sending both to the back of the pack.
Griffith retook the lead on lap 32 with an outside pass of Varney with Brock running a solid third followed by Keller and Dorer.
During qualifying Braden set a new track record for the series with a time of 12.14-seconds (74.14 mph).
