09 April 2013 - National Sim Racing Association

The half mile paperclip of Martinsville was the site of the second to last race of the season. Zach Michael came in with the points standings lead over teammate Rob Scarberry. John Battista made just his second start but was off to the races early, winning the pole and leading early on. Cautions were a big deal in this race, mostly because of racing being a little too hard between some drivers. With only a few laps to go, tempers boiled over. Rob Scarberry drove down into the inside of Tanner Smith, last week's winner, and the 03 was sent around after Rob hit the curb. Tanner then drove up to Rob and door slammed him. On the next restart John Battista tried to run away with the race but Dave Daniels and Zach Michael were in hot pursuit. However their attempts to take the lead were thwarted when the caution came out with 3 to go, ending the race. John Battista won his first race in the NSRA and lead all 125 laps.

Congrats to John on his win and thanks to all 18 who raced tonight! See you Wednesday for Cup at Sonoma and next Monday for the season finale of the trucks at Homestead!!
