BREUNING GETS LUCKY AT MOTEGI!

Mike Erter led the field to the green flag and had a good start, taking the lead, while Breuning and Smithem struggled with fishtailing cars, mixing things up right away: It was Phil Peterson running 2nd initially, while Warren got unlucky with a black flag for passing illegally at the messy start.

The yellows bunched the field back up again and the final part of the race was a battle for the win between Erter and Breuning, swapping positions all the time, while Smithem had worked his way back up to 3rd and was sitting on the bench to see the two leaders mess up. They didn’t; The final yellow ended the battle, caused by a touch between Colley and Peterson – the latter getting the short end of the stick. Finishing under yellow, Breuning took the win ahead of Erter and Smithem, Warren was 4th and Colley 5th.
