ERTER NOSES TO THE WIN AT PHOENIX!!!

Don Warren led the field to the green flag from pole, with alongside him Mike Erter, who quickly took the lead away from him. Breuning worked his way forward from starting 6th and started mixing himself in the fight for the lead. After the first yellow, it was Smithem that was first out of the pits followed by Breuning. When trying to pass into turn 1, Breuning touched wheels very slightly with Smithem – unfortunately enough for Smithem to bend the suspension. Breuning was unscaved. After another yellow, the fight up front was between Erter and Breuning, with the former holding a low line perfectly, making it almost impossible for Breuning to pass. At the end, Eaglen, Ian Wilson and Andrew Forrester were closing in on the fun, unfortunately a slight touch with Eaglen ended Wilson’s ambitions. At the line, Erter held on by 0.020 over Breuning, with Forrester snatching a podium finish from Eaglen and Les Bentz rounding out the top 5.
