SEUSS CAPTURES
CARAWAY VICTORY
Edges Brunnhoelzl to nab 4th
win this season |
Andy Seuss took the win in the Caraway 150 at Caraway Speedway on Saturday
night by .884 seconds over George Brunnhoelzl III.
It marked the fourth victory of the season for the 22-year-old
driver from Hampstead, N.H. Seuss passed Burt Myers on Lap 10 and remained
out front the rest of the night.
“We know passing George for the points lead is going to be a
challenge so we have decided to race these last four races to win and
dominate,” Seuss said. “We tried some things last week and were way off but
my guys gave me a great car tonight and this is a great night for our team.”
Seuss enjoyed a 10-car length lead over Brian Loftin when the only
caution flag of the race was thrown on Lap 123 when Tommy Neal spun down the
back stretch.
Seuss was able to hold on to the lead on the restart and keep
Brunnhoelzl in his rearview mirror.
Brian Loftin finished third, followed by Burt Myers and Jason
Myers. Rounding out the top 10 were Frank Fleming, John Smith, Jonathan
Brown, Buddy Emory and J.R. Bertuccio.
Myers started the race from the front row after the redraw and led
the first nine laps after winning his second consecutive Coors Light Pole
Award and 20th of his career in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour.
Brunnhoelzl only lost 10 points of his lead following the Caraway
150 and heads to Martinsville
 with
a 125-point margin over Seuss with three races remaining.
