Sweep by JrFurr29, Extended Points Lead by Lupeg575
Race number 20 of 21 got underway at Watkins Glen , the second and final road course of the CPR DrinkNOS Cup Series season. JrFurr29 grabbed the pole , and in a short 18 lap race track position was key.
The race inside the race was between the 4 drivers in contention for the championship, Oddball1791 would start and finish 5th, ending his hopes of a championship after leading the points heading into the chase. JamieDobbs911 entered the race 3rd in points, and he would leave in 3rd but like Oddball1791 his hopes are very very low as he heads into Homestead down 14 points. He will need all luck he can get next week, as a lot will have to happen in order for him to make up that many points.
Megatron8121 entered 2nd, 7 points behind and he would leave 9 points behind heading into Homestead. A solid 3rd place run now makes his chase finishes 1-2-2-3, but for the 2nd straight week he finishes behind points leader LupeG575. LupeG575 also led a lap which is why he gained 2 points.
The race belonged to polesitter JrFurr29, as he led 16 of the 18 laps on route to his
first CPR DrinkNOS Cup Series win. This
also marks his first sweep as he took home the Verizon Grand National Series win as well.
It was announced that JrFurr29 is joining the Verizon Grand National Series fulltime in season 2, and he looks to be the early favorite to be the champion.
Last Lap Misfortune for two gives jamiedobbs911 7th Victory
The finale of the season 1 CPR DrinkNOS Cup series was held at Homestead Speedway. JrFurr29 grabbed the pole like he did in the VGNS race, and would dominate most of the race just like a night before.
LupeG575 would head into the final race up 9 points over Megatron8121 and 14 points up over JamieDobbs911. Both had very slim chances heading in, and LupeG575 did nothing to put himself in position to forfeit the title. That was until a lap 52 incident as ChadRick32 would make a mistake and take out race leader JrFurr29 with just 2 laps to go. LupeG575 would also get involved in the wreck.
This paved way for JamieDobbs911, who came out of nowhere to win his 7th race of the season. The 3rd of which came on a
