🏁 POINTS RACE #2 IS COMPLETE! 🏁

52 drivers. 105 cars. 8 hours flat. Nearly 10,000 laps hammered into the surface at The Krater Raceway and the racing was nonstop from green to checkered.

As the laps clicked off, drivers found their groove and the pace kept getting faster and faster all day long. Tight points battles, close racing, and high-speed action every single round made this one another awesome day with Krater Nation! 🔥

👀 Closest Points Battle is 360 Sprint!
At the top with Scott Heiler in 1st at 198 points and Chris Goodwin only one singular point behind! Neither can make a bobble because Dan Rippinger is in 3rd at 194 with a TQ and 2nd in his pocket. Gonna be a good one right to the very end at this rate.🥇

⚡ Fastest laps of the day:
• Mod LM – Jayme Reiley | 4.159
• Mod Sprint – Mike Reniger | 4.179
• MWM – Dale Hunt | 4.383
• 360 Sprint – Scott Heiler | 4.622

• Novice – Mouse | 5.915
• SC Open – Nate Steele | 4.663
• ModBoss – Kolton Hopkin | 5.691
• Losi Sprint – Steven Russo | 5.582
