Cup Series: I Me Murphy - 14 May 2013 - National Sim Racing Association

In the final race before the chase, 8 drivers had a shot at making it into the Chase. Only 5 could make it in. Tony Pizzaro won the pole and lead early on. John Battista and Dave Daniels were both in tow behind. Pizzaro and Battista were well out of chase contention but Daniels only had a 7 point gap to stay in the chase. The yellow flew frequently early on with John Griggs, a chase contender, spinning out twice and blowing his engine. Battista was running very aggressively during the course of the race, spun twice, ending his night. Pizzaro continued to lead the way following Dave Daniels spinning and wrecking out of the race. A long run followed that spread out most of the field. But a yellow came out with just 8 laps to go, setting up a mad dash to the finish. Tony Pizzaro was going to restart in the lead but connection issues resulted in him loosing a lap and handing the lead to Mark Murphy. In the final run Zach Michael, who was feeling the full effects of a cold, passed Rob Scarberry and was hunting down Murphy for the lead but he ran out of time and Mark Murphy won his first race.

Congrats to Mark on his win and thanks to all who raced and see you Monday for trucks at Mosport and Wednesday for Cup at New Hampshire!!
