Cup Series: A Win For You And A Cup For Me - 12 June 2013

In the final race of the season, the Cup Series traveled to Miami to race at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Mark Murphy edged out Zach Michael for the pole and Murphy, along with teammate Mike Tellier pulled away from the pack. Steven Davis spun out on lap 18 and retired, he would go on to finish 2nd in points. Ron Stout, who has been running part time since the chase started, made his way up towards the front on the long run. Stout was leading when he got into the marbles and spun, collecting 2nd place Mike Tellier. Zach Michael took the lead but not for long as Stout and Murphy were both following right behind. Murphy was able to take the lead when the final caution came out for Mike Tellier losing out of the turn. On the restart Murphy was able to gap the field. A few laps later, Ron and fellow part timer Bronson Stafford wrecked out of turn 4 but no caution was thrown. Murphy continued to pull away as Zach and Mike battled for 2nd. Zach was able to beat Mike for 2nd and Murphy put enough of a gap on the field to hang on for his 2nd win, a well deserved win following heartbreak at Texas last week.

Congrats to T-mac on his win and Zach on his championship. Thanks to all who raced this season! See you next Wednesday for the Shootout @ Daytona!!

FINAL STANDINGS: 1st: Zach Michael (Leader), 2nd: Steven Davis (-42), 3rd: John Griggs (-43), 4th: Rob Scarberry (-44)
