And a 28 laps dash for the finish. Can't wait to see this race on tv or you tube. 4.

Pena had finished 20th or worse in the previous 3 races (an engine failure and running out of gas in two of them), dropping from 2nd to 12th in the standings, before this win which bumps him back up to 6th. Brett Moffitt got his 4th top 2 finish of the season, but finishes of 24th, 16th and 16th has him only 4th in the standings. Max Gresham took over the points lead with his 6th straight top 5 finish, 10th in 20 career starts. Matt DiBenedetto got his 3rd straight top 5 finish, from his 4th straight top 3 starts. 15 y/o Chase Elliott, son of Bill Elliott, earned his 2nd top 5 of the season but first since he finished 4th in the season opener. Alex Bowman got his first top 10 in the last 4 races, after starting the season with 3 in a row. Coleman Pressley won his 2nd career East Series pole, both coming in the last 3 races, and led his first laps of the season (42) before settling for his first stand-alone top 10 of the season. Corey LaJoie has top 10's in the last 3 races, and 4 in the last 5 to go from 24th to 8th in the standings. Darrell Wallace Jr. is the only driver to have top 10's in every race this season but finished a season-worst 9th to drop from 1st to 3rd in the standings. 5.

There was not much more to ask for. Congrats to Pena. He had the best car at the right time. He was great on the restarts holding Gresham off. Brett Moffitt cut down a tire two laps into the race, fell two laps down and battled all the way back to finish second. Very impressive. Actually, it's probably a good thing his tire went down when it did. He probably would've stunk up the show and run away with the thing. DiBenedetto was very upset with Gresham after the race. The two traded bumps near the end, "maybe" costing each other a chance at the end. Though Pena and Moffitt were too strong. It'll be interesting to see how Gresham and DiBenedetto act at Loudon. I talked to both drivers, Gresham wasn't concerned and DiBenedetto seemed over it. But we'll see. Yes, that's the same Robert Huffman. He is (or at least was) the crew chief for Matt DiBenedetto. He's also the team manager for X Team Racing. I'm not sure why he's listed as the car owner now. Every car finished the race in an K&N Pro Series East race. When was the last time you could say that? Great, great race. There were some spins, but nothing that led to much damage. You guys will enjoy the replay on Speed on June 30. 6.
