Peter Dance Grabs First Win
at Whip City Speedway
BY MARK MCKEON
WESTFIELD, MA – Former track champion Pete Dance got his groove back and picked up his first 1200cc Mini Sprint win of the season at Whip City Speedway. Dance withstood a single late race caution and a charge from Jon Moore enroute to his green-to-checker victory.
The night was a study in contrast for the 270cc Mini Sprints. Their heat race was plagued by eight caution periods, including one for a wreck which saw two cars flip and eliminated 60% of the 10 car field. By the time the feature rolled around, most cars were repaired, the drivers were on their best behavior and Kendall Segar enjoyed a non-stop romp to pick up his second win of the year.
Ricci Hirth was the top dog in the 600cc Mini Sprints, leading from wire-to-wire in a non-stop race. J.D. Casazza showed championship form by winning both the 750cc heat and the feature. In the 750 Sportsman race, Kyle Smith picked up his third win in his last four attempts. (more…)
