SEUSS GETS BACK TO BUSINESS AT CARAWAY
Fast Pit Stop Gives Defending Champion First Win of Season |
 Andy
Seuss will take a win any way he can get it and that
was the case Friday at Caraway Speedway.
Seuss was able to take the lead in the pits during
the second caution of the race. Once he got the lead
he was able to hold off a strong J.R. Bertuccio to
score his first win of the season taking the Davis
Roofing 150.
Bertuccio appeared to have the best car of the field
after he started from the front row winning his
first Coors Light Pole Award of the season during
qualifying.
The Centereach, N.Y. native swapped the lead with
Danny Bohn on Lap 4 and retook the top spot on Lap
10 as he built leads by as much as 15 car lengths.
Bertuccio led until the second caution of the race
for debris was given to the field on Lap 118. Seuss
took the lead on Lap 120 after pit stops with George
Brunnhoelzl III second and Bertuccio third.
Bertuccio was able to quickly get past Brunnhoelzl
but could never get beside Seuss to try and make a
pass for the lead.
Brunnhoelzl came home third with Burt Myers – who
entered the day trying for his third consecutive win
at Caraway – fourth and Bobby Measmer Jr. fifth.
Rounding out the top-10 was Jeremy Gerstner, Kyle
Bosignore, Danny Bohn, Gary Putnam and Bobby
Hutchens III.
The win also moved Seuss into a tie with Brunnhoelzl
for the most tour wins at Caraway with 12 and the
Hampstead, New Hampshire native now has 22 career
wins.
The 2010 champion maintains his points lead with an
eight-point advantage over Brunnhoelzl (221-213)
with Seuss third at 210.
The southern tour will return to action with its
annual stop to historic Bowman Gray Stadium on
Saturday, Aug. 6 for the Strutmasters.com 199.
