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.

SMITHEM WINS HIS FIRST INDY 100!

It was pole sitter Robert Love that led the field to the green flag and took and early lead. The racing was pretty hard right off the bat and that resulted in a massive accident after some 6 laps, that forced a lot of drivers to pit and use their repair; After that, it was still furious and several yellows thinned out the field. The second half of the race, things calmed down. Stuart Wright and Bill Smithem were running for the win together, but Wright unfortunately was caught speeding on pit road on his last stop, which gave Smithem a comfortable lead. Fozillo stretched his fuel to secure 2nd but was disqualified for reaching the incident limit on the last lap. Breuning sputtered across the line to grab 2nd. Fozillo was award third as he completed 99 laps.

Stuart Wright salvaged his race with 4th and Jack Wilson was 5th.
