RACE SWEEP

Pedersen Wins

Christian Pedersen swept the weekend by winning the fast heat which put him on the pole as well. He led a race high 86 laps and dominated a race that would only see 1 early caution that left 7 out of 18 cars on the lead lap.

Matthew Kingsbury would finish 2nd for the 3rd straight race so that team is on the verge of another win this season. 3rd went to Jeff Ward, 4th Mike Kelley and rounding out the top 5 also for the 2nd week in a row was Robert Lynn.

It was only a matter of time until Christian won his first race. He sat on the pole at Lucas Oil Raceway as well and was in the hut for win when a late race wreck ended his chances after leading 38 laps.

This race marked the halfway point in Season 11 for the STARS Series. During that time, 20 races have been run including both heats and features. Out of those 20 races, there have been 18 different winners.
