(June
3, 2014) - Robbie Wyman made it two
consecutive wins in the NASH-FM Thunder Car
division taking the lead on lap 15 when
leader Lonny Burton spun coming off the
fourth corner.
Burton led the first 14 laps before spinning
while in the lead.
Burton grabbed the lead at the start chased
by Brian Lewis, Wyman, Nick Warner and
Curtis Chapman.
The running order remained unchanged until
lap five, when Austin Russell spun in turn
one and at the same time Chapman got into
the back of Wyman’s car coming off turn
four. Wyman did a nice job of keeping the
car straight, but Chapman was forced to the
pits with a leaking radiator.
Wyman passed Lewis for the second spot with
an inside move entering turn three on lap 10
and then Burton spun, he inherited the lead.
Following Wyman to the checkers were Brian
Lewis, Nick Warner, Burton and Jimmy
Hawkins.
“My dad raced here many years,” Wyman said
of his dad, Rob. “We’ve made some
adjustments to the car.”
Wyman set fast time during qualifications
for the second time this year followed b
Chapman and Lewis.
Chapman claimed the heat win when Russell
spun in turn one. He held off Wyman by less
than two-tenths of a second. Warner, Burton
and Lewis rounded out the top five.
