(May
21, 2014) - Florida driver Troy
DeCaire led all 60 laps to record his ever
victory at Anderson Speedway Wednesday in
the Must See Racing 60 presented by Sam
Pierce Chevrolet.
DeCaire started on the outside of the front
row as a result of the inversion with Kody
Swanson lined up on the pole position.
Before a lap was completed Ryan Litt spun on
the back straight resulting in a complete
restart after DeCaire had jumped into the
lead.
At the start DeCaire was able to use the
high line entering turn one to grab the lead
with Swanson right on his tail.
Swanson was forced to the pit with a
mechanical problem which gave Noblesville
driver Brian Gerster, the fast qualifier, a
shot at the win.
Gerster started sixth and moved into the top
five after two laps and up into the third
spot following 18 laps.
Gerster inherited the second spot when
Swanson dropped out but could never make a
serious charge for the lead as DeCaire
wouldn’t surrender the low line.
Jimmy McCune finished third after starting
eighth, followed by Jacob Wilson and Aaron
Pierce came home fifth after rolling off the
in 10th spot.
“I was able to get the car down to the
bottom at the start,” DeCaire said in the
Tim Thompson Nationwide Insurance Winner’s
Circle. “I was able to hold my line.”
Coatesville driver Cole Fehr used lapped
traffic to his advantage to pass Dameron
Taylor at the halfway point to record his
first career Mel Kenyon Midget victory.
Taylor took the lead from the pole position
and was chased closely by Fehr, who several
times tried to get inside of Taylor.
As the two approached lapped traffic Taylor
got caught on the low side with Fehr using
the high groove in Turn 4.
“This is my first win in my second year of
racing,” Fehr said. “I’m real excited.”
Four laps later Taylor slowed coming off the
second corner and pulled to the inside pits.
With Fehr opening a comfortable lead, Travis
Young, Jessica Bean and rookie driver Logan
Huggler staged a spirited battle for second.
Young kept looking for the inside line to
open up but Young wouldn’t surrender the
preferred line.
When the checkered flag waved that was the
order they finished with Alexandria driver
Clayton Gaines coming home fifth after
making repairs following a heat race
incident.
