The Wait is Over

The wait is over for young Erik Roberts, as he was able to get his first feature win in his super stock. It was a very good day at Lisbon for both Dr. McGillicuddy's Racing and Jim Beam Racing. The heat race had both, Kevin and Erik in the same heat with Kevin starting 2nd and Erik 4th. After the start of the race, both Kevin and Erik were able to work their way to the front. The heat race had Kevin winning and Erik in 2nd.

The feature had Kevin starting on the pole and Erik starting on the outside in 2nd. The beginning laps of the race had Kevin and Erik racing side by side. After a few laps, Erik was able to work his way around his dad and take the lead. About the middle of the race Todd Carter was able to pass Kevin and was trying to catch up to Erik. Both Todd and Erik had a nice race going. Todd was running the bottom and Erik on the high side. With 2 laps to go, the yellow flag came out again. The last restart had Erik in the lead then Todd and Kevin in 2nd and 3rd. Todd was able to try one last time to pass Erik on the bottom but Erik was able to pull away at the line to pick up his first feature win.
