RICK RAVON CLAIMS INDY!

Breuning started from the pole with Ravon alongside him, but ultimately Breuning got himself in trouble early on and had to take a fast repair along with his victim Danny Passmore.

As the race progressed, several incidents and yellows bunched up the field again. A late yellow took us to a one lap shootout, in which Ravon proved to react the best and keep it up front ahead of Day and Breuning.

RAVON WINS HARD FOUGHT SEASON OPENER!

Phoenix always makes for some close racing and the season 9 opener was no exception. Sometimes too close. The first yellow didn’t occur until mid race, when newcomer Fletcher had a crash off turn 4. Yellows breed yellows and on lap 54 Breuning and Smithem came together causing a big mess for everyone.

Once they got going again, it was Ravon and Day fighting hard for the win with a few scary moments between them. Ravon took it by 0.063, with newcomer Mike Erter a strong 3rd!
