27 September 2013 - National Sim Racing Association

Both the Trucks and Cup were at Talladega this week. The Trucks kicked off the week at the famed superspeedway. Mark Guthrie was on pole for the event. Only 2 cautions early in the going but the final half of there ace went without any yellows. Pit stops came with 5 to go and the field got spread apart, leaving only Tony Pizzaro and Zach Michael to battle for the win. However, on the last lap Pizzaro got a push from a lap down truck and took the win in controversial fashion.

The Cup Series then followed, Michael was on pole for the event that would run caution free. Kevin Corbat was having a good run when his shifter malfunctioned causing a downshift that blew his engine following a pit stop. With four to go, the tandem of Michael and teammate Rob Scarberry rocketed around Mike Carroll and Tony Pizzaro. On the last lap Pizzaro and Carroll battled back on the outside and were side by side in the tri-oval. They were side by side to the line with Scarberry hanging on by 0.026, the closest finish in NSRA history.

Congrats to Tony and Rob on their wins, see you next Monday and Wednesday for Martinsville!!
